| "I don't know how she does it!" is an oft-heard refrain about mothers today. Funnily enough, most moms agree they have no idea how they get it done, or whether they even want the job. Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile spoke to mothers of every stripe working, stay-at-home, part-time and found a surprisingly similar trend in their interviews. After enthusing about her lucky life for twenty minutes, a mother would then break down and admit that her child's first word was "Shrek." As one mom put it, "Am I happy? The word that describes me best is challenged." Fresh from the front lines of modern motherhood comes a book that uncovers the guilty secrets of moms today . . . in their own words. I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids diagnoses the craziness and offers real solutions, so that mothers can step out of the madness and learn to love motherhood as much as they love their kids.

I love this book and how it directly addresses things we all struggle with -- judgement, expectations, stress -- all in a fun, light-hearted way. The advice and "dirty little secrets" are priceless as we all struggle to create satisfying, happier more stress-free lives for ourselves, our children and our family.

This book really hits the mark on motherhood today. I bought copies for everyone in my book club because I can't wait to discuss it with all of them! Finally someone has articulated the feelings I have not known how to express. All moms can relate to this book on some level and in the end feel better about the job they're doing as a mother. A fantastic Mother's Day gift!!

I laughed. I cried. I hyperventilated. But mostly I felt relief upon completing "I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids". With wit and candor Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile unveil the hidden truisms of modern motherhood that we as mothers have an incomprehensible problem getting a grip on. What is so phenomenal about this book is that not only does it outline the challenges that mothers face today and provide reasons for those challenges, but it offers real solutions and a path to happiness and contentment. Through first person quotes and anonymous "dirty little secrets" Ashworth and Nobile help us realize we are not alone, and encourage us to sit back, reasses, take a breath and even (dare I say) relax. Cudos to them - this reallly should be required reading for all mothers with small children.

This really is a great book. I was surprised how much I liked it. It was funny, light hearted and a quick read. The quotes are fabulous. They have these dirty little secrets that resonate with each and everyone of us. We all can relate to this book. If you are a mom you have got to read this book to realize that eventhough you feel like you are alone, you are not alone and we are all in this together. They discuss as moms how we put way too much pressure on ourselves, we have an unrealistic image of what a good mom is, and that you know what we don't have to be perfect all of the time. They do all of this in such a light hearted way with amazing quotes from fantastic women. i hope you all enjoy this book as much as I did! It is perfect over a glass of wine or a nice bubble bath. Enjoy!
