Nothing new

I was so excited after hearing great reviews about this book. I searched the local library to check out this book. There is nothing new in this book for Mothers/Fathers that have been stay-at-home parents. I think this book would be good for NEWLY stay-at-home parents. This book said it was to offer "unique" ways to handle the day-to-day tasks. There was nothing unique about anything in this book. "Helpful tips" do not buy this book, check it out from your library.

survival guide makes staying at home a reality!

This is an accessible, practical and easy to follow guide to help parents with the important but somewhat daunting thought of staying home full-time with the children. Tinglof's style is full of humor and ease, helping the reader feel comfortable about the subject and ready to make the attempt! The book is thorough without being cumbersome. I especially liked the tips provided by other parents which are dispersed throughout the book. There is a real feeling of contact with other struggling parents! Christina Baglivi Tinglof has provided a wonderful examination of parenting and how staying at home can work for so many of us.
