Just wanted to share the best motherhood/parenting book I have found....Mission of Motherhood by Sally Clarkson.

My boys grow, change and hit a new and unknown stage all of the time so I know what I read then wil l take on some new meaning now. =)Melanie Muellerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05308131469757904479noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576521988054772040.post-36119593202727547402011-08-20T15:47:40.722-07:002011-08-20T15:47:40.722-07:00A friend of the family had told me that if I ever ...A friend of the family had told me that if I ever have a boy I should read bring up boys.

I have a six year old son and read Bringing up Boys when he was an itty bitty baby. The book unintentionally made a great case for adopting boys as well as raising our biological boys up right. Loved it! I have twins who are 3 1/2 and we very, very rarely do the library. :)HBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06899643324563077759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576521988054772040.post-17693459810737817812011-08-20T03:42:09.965-07:002011-08-20T03:42:09.965-07:00I bought the James Dobson book for my daughter who...I bought the James Dobson book for my daughter who has triplet boys. I figured she would really need it. And she does.<br /><br />I grew up loving to read but in PR, we didn't have a library. I remember one Summer when we came to the US to visit, my grandmother took me to the one in their town. I never knew there could be so many books. One of my favorite places in our 'hood is our library.<br /><br />Yeah for Zac! My grandkids would rather be read to than almost anything.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14712508409234283378noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576521988054772040.post-26860753957397311262011-08-19T21:04:32.821-07:002011-08-19T21:04:32.821-07:00We have come to love our weekly trips to the libra...We have come to love our weekly trips to the library this summer!

LOL. We're working on it. <br /><br />We listened to Bringing up boys on cd one time on a road trip before we had B. We both liked it. There were some parts I disagreed with a little, more towards the end, where i felt like they might have been justifying rambunctious behavior because "boys need to be boys". Sometimes I feel like people kind of allow things that are not what I consider "normal" just because they have boys... but that's just me, and I seem to be overly sensitive to that, so perhaps I am in the minority. Overall it's a great book though, and I recommend it for sure.Lindshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14739426687533738884noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4576521988054772040.post-23573773979204223752011-08-19T17:49:00.299-07:002011-08-19T17:49:00.299-07:00Those are cute books.
