O knihe

Don't worry about us; we're doing just fine.
In the parenting world, we readily adjust our masks, pretend we're having a grand old time, do anything we can to avoid admitting that sometimes we don't know what we're doing, sometimes we question our sanity, sometimes we think our kids might be breaking us. Judgment is rife and large in the parenting world, and we dare not say anything vulnerable, lest we be cast into The Bad Parent Camp.
Staring down that very judgment, Rachel opens up the doors of her home and lets the madness spill into the streets. With her characteristic wit and hilarity, Rachel shares her family's most frequent battles (technology time and leaving the house), their failures, their pressure points, their abundant annoyances, and her loudest insecurities as a mother. But even with its ample humor, If These Walls Could Talk is a powerful commentary on modern parenting with a hopeful message: we're all doing the best we can-and that's enough.
If These Walls Could Talk includes humorous essays like:
So Much for a Yell-Free Year

A Realistic Look at Having a Large Family

Welcome to Minecraft Motherhood

No Sane Parent Ever Did it All

What Silence Means in the Life of a Parent

The Madness of Traveling with Children

The Mysterious Lure of Screens: a Love/Hate Story

8 Steps that Comprise a Strong-Willed Child's Meltdown
and many more.
Hailed as "The Erma Bombeck of a new parenting generation," Rachel's fifth full-length book of humor essays will simultaneously amuse and soothe modern parents with the bolstering knowledge that they are not alone.
Rachel is the wife of one man and the mother of six young sons who daily give her inspiration for comical essays. Her work can often be found on Huff Post Parents, Scary Mommy, Babble, and Motherly. She lives with all her males in San Antonio, Texas.
