Bad Mother: A Chronicle of Maternal Crimes, Minor Calamities, and Occasional Moments of Grace by Ayelet Waldman
3.0
I started this book on audio and it was excellent. However, I can read faster than I can listen and I felt like my listening time would be better spent on another book.
I thought this book had some interesting insights into parenting now. I am actually grateful (having read this) that the Internet was not as important when Bill and I were rearing our children. Of course, Waldman is rearing her children in Berkeley CA, which is a far cry from Ashland in many, many ways.
I enjoy hearing about other people's lives. I think Waldman would define me as nosy not a snoop. So that aspect of the book was interesting to me. Overall I am glad I read this even though I found some other books about motherhood to be more insightful.
I am curious about how this book will go over in our book group. It could be well received or it could become part of the Mommy wars. Hard to tell.
