Reseñas de la Crítica

"A compassionate discussion of the joys of parenthood and the 'gritty' nature of love." ( Kirkus)

Excelente and Full of Practical Tips

I highly recommend this book for all mothers. The book inspired me to make changes and gave amazing practical advice. Great book!

Very eye opening

I have 5 and 7 year old boys who keep me very busy. This book allowed me to understand so many of the feelings that I was having. It allowed me to know that I’m not alone in them also.

I'm a guy, so...

I read this book to get some insight into my wife and her thoughts as a mom. Great book and helped us have some conversation points. It also gave me ideas on where to encourage her as a mother. It's a must read and a must implement!

Don't let this pass you by

Every mom needs this book. I've only been a mom for about 2 months and this book has helped me open my eyes. It's like she's been reading my mail. Spirit filled and such a huge blessing. Buy it now

Decent book, but horrid narration

Would you try another book from Meg Meeker and/or Karen White?

No, both Meg Meeker books I've tried have had horrible narrators

What did you like best about this story?

Many of the points are true

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Condescending, overly dramatic, and extremely annoying tone that detracts significantly from the content

If this book were a movie would you go see it?

Probably not

Always a good idea!

It’s good to listen to this at different stages of your motherhood- just finished my second time!

Barely made it to the end

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

Unfortunately, I was really struggling to listen to the end. The book itself was 3 star but the narrator make it very hard to listen.

How did the narrator detract from the book?

Sorry but I think Karen White over dramatized the story and I needed exactly the opposite. It was hard to listen. I felt like I was a little child listing to a well intentioned parent talking down to me.

Did The 10 Habits of Happy Mothers inspire you to do anything?

I found few great lessons from the book but the overall was just alright.

Highly Recommend

Love how she listed applicable ways to make the habit stick at the end of the chapters

Encouraging

So nice to hear other mother’s struggling with similar things as myself, and that they were able to move past them (or not). I feel encouraged to make positive changes.

Recommend the book but had hard time listening to

Enjoyed the content of this book. Dr. Meeker shares some great tips and stories throughout the book. My favorite part was the ways to make each habit stick offered at the end of each chapter.
I was not particularly thrilled with the voice and meter of the reader, however. Because the content was so good and timely for my current stage of life, I pushed through it.
