Moms Who Drink and Swear just did not do it for this mommy. To be honest, I only got about 70 percent of the way through because I just got bored. If I want to read about bratty kids fighting and throwing temper tantrums, and a mom who is flying by the seat of her pants and messing up a lot, but still loves her kids and tries her best, I'll write my own book. This is every mom (at least the ones I know) and it just didn't hold my interest. I will admit that it is a very easy read and the author has a nice conversational tone, but that is exactly what it's lacking: a conversation. These are the kinds of stories that moms swap at play dates and Moms Night Out while drinking wine and occasionally swearing. When I was reading this book, there were several times I was laughing out loud and in complete sympathy with the author, but alas, I could not commiserate with her, and so became bored with this one sided story-telling. Because Nicole Knepper is not the only mother with "True Tales of Loving My Kids While Losing My Mind". Unless you have no mommy friends with whom you can lament, I would pass on this one.
