I keep looking for my name in this book!!

From the time I spotted this book on the "New Arrivals" shelf of the library, I was hooked. It came home with me, but has to return. However, I will purchase my own copy as I just KNOW that within the covers is the story of my family - and fortunately not our names. To present this subject matter with the edgy humor is the best therapy I could ever imagine.


Irreverent Gem

Highly recommended reading for every parent of a twenty or thirtysomething (better yet, read now if you have younger kids and get a head start). Very funny one moment, very dead-on the mark in the next--a breezy, joy to read by an obviously very observant gifted young writer.

Not what I thought - very humorous, hard to find the "advice"

She's very funny and talented, but I was expecting something to help me understand and cope with a young adult male who won't grow up. I wanted to find guidance and couldn't stick with it long enough to learn anything. I guess she really means it when she says you should keep giving your kids money! I need mine for ME! I was hoping he could get his own someday and I have given up on that fantasy of him ever being able to take care of me when I get old and helpless. Just take me out to the woods when my bank account is empty. Read this book for laughs and craziness.

And Now You Owe It To Yourself - Buy This Book!

The author combines star quality and a starburst mentality. She takes tiny truisms of the parent-child relationship and magnifies them into very funny scenarios, unencumbered by any linear thought. She even from time to time takes a short verbal diversion and then announces "OK, I'm back". The targets are luscious - Dad and sex education? Disgusting. Watching porn with Mom? Hey, maybe a good bonding opportunity. Mom favoring a friend the all-American girl? Well, perfectly understandable, if you like that kind. Parents favor the son - you mean the one in prison?

Simply part Mel Brooks, part Monty Python, and part Don Rickles (his feminine side).

Terrific!

Let's face it, everyone goes through the painful transition of learning that parents are really just people... people with faults, who probably made grievous errors when they raised you. And REALLY YOU'VE DONE ENOUGH has plenty of case studies, illustrations, charts, graphs, bullet points and lists to prove it.

Twenty somethings, or as Time magazine calls them, "Twixters," often find themselves, post-college, reevaluating their relationship with their parents. Packaged as an instructional guide to parents, this book for 20-somethings is a humorous take on adult children's relationships with their invasive parents. In the traditon of popular television shows like The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, this book blends a nice mix of humor and irony with substantial truth and an incisive undertone that will resonate with young adults.
