Negative Positive
Title: Right message - lousy execution - very negative - not funny
Review: I agree with the basic premise of the book and I actually am pretty much a "slacker mom" as described in the book; don't over indulge kids, let them learn from their mistakes, etc. But...the author feels the need to paint caricatures of moms that do things a bit differntly and to put them down in order to justify her own high and mighty opinions. She accuses moms who do scrapbooking of creating "shrines" to their children. Makes her living in advertising but complains about the pressure to buy, buy buy. She writes as if parents who stay home, enroll their kids in a few classes, go to some of their kids games, etc are all idiots. One reviewer said this book has a hidden conservative agenda, a friend thought it was written by an extreme liberal -- call it what you want, it's just extremely bad. This book is not even funny. The worst book I've read in memory.
Is the review positive or negative?
