Grandmothers who buy this book for their own children’s children are simply demonstrating their own lack of parenting ability.
I think this book body-slams Mom every chance it gets! It also encourages children in the formative years to just ignore Mom and go with that fun-loving granny, no matter how important Mom’s advice is to her growing daughter. Any good granny should know, (except for the narcissistic ones who will purchase this book) that supporting Mom and backing her up is more important than being hip and wild. All grannies who think about purchasing this book should step back about forty years and put themselves in the place of Mom, and then place the book in the hands of her own mother-in-law giving it to her daughter!
Mother-in-laws beware…if you don’t want to enrage your daughter-in-law, choose another book! It’s a shame because the idea is cute, but the delivery is point after point of parent bashing.
