Super funny while making very good points about the day-to-day struggles of life as a parent, spouse, friend, etc. Every day we find ourselves trying to keep up with the demands of life and this book is a very friendly way to tell that story. Not everything is what it seems looking into someone's life from the outside. This was a cute, relatable, page-turner that hit spot on in bringing to light what a "normal" day in a parent's life looks like. Another DNF I read ages ago and forgot to log. I suspect I would have liked this better when I had a small child. It is essentially Wife Swap or Freaky Friday with a switch between a "perfect" SAHM and a mother who works outside the home and ends up doing neither job very well. I read about half of this but it was all so broad and obvious I just quit. I think the point was "there is no right way to parent" and I think that is obvious. Perhaps what is missed is that there are wrong ways to parent. Mostly though it was not that fact, but the lack of originality or insight that steered me away. To all the moms out there, working moms or stay at home homes, have you ever been envious of the other? This book is a version of Freaky Friday where the Moms get swapped for a week. One was a proud stay at home mom and the other a Business women. Each in their own way thinking they were raising their kids in the best way they knew how. They pinned a lot of topics proclaiming why their chosen paths were the best way, however, deep down they wondered if they were doing right by their kids. It was such a charming, endearing read and it’s a perfect book for all Moms, who wonder if there choices in life will affect how their kids function. In the book, they realize that both working and SAHM, both loved their children and was able to be the best mom possible. I completely related to this book because I have been both and for a fact I can tell you both roles are hard. Being a mom is hard work, no matter if you are home all day with them or you work outside the home. ingen anmeldelser | tilføj en anmeldelse

"Celeste Mason is the Pinterest stay-at-home supermom of other mothers' nightmares. Despite her all-organic, SunButter-loving, free-range kids, her immaculate home, and her volunteering awards, she still has time to relax with a nice glass of pinot at the end of the day. The only thing that ruins it all is her workaholic, career-obsessed neighbor, who makes no secret of what she thinks of Celeste's life choices every chance she gets. Wendy Charles is a celebrated productivity consultant, columnist, and speaker. On a minute-by-minute schedule, she makes the working-mom hustle look easy. She even spends at least one waking hour a day with her kids. She's not apologizing for a thing. Especially to Celeste, who plays her superior parenting against Wendy whenever she can. Who do Celeste and Wendy think they are? They're about to find out thanks to one freaky week. After a neighborhood potluck and too much sangria, they wake up--um, what?--in each other's bodies. Everything Celeste and Wendy thought they knew about the "other kind of mom" is flipped upside down--along with their messy, complicated, maybe not so different lives."--Provided by publisher.
