Could be better Judith Warner's book does a great job of reporting on the current perfect parenting craze but offers few realistic solutions to the problems she outlines. At the root of her augment is that mothers today are not activists for themselves and are instead behaving just as our mothers did by suffering in silence. The problem is, she neglects to address all the stay-at-home moms out there who are not going insane but rather happily driving their kids to every extra class they can find in the area. This book is best when Warner lets her sense of humor come through, and worst when her bitterness wins out. Personally, I think The Perfect Parents Handbook, a humor book on today's over parenting movement is a healthier read on the subject. Laughing at how crazy the parenting world has become and our role in this trend seems like a better solution than trying to stop a problem that, in the end, is just human nature.
