I Heart My Little A-Holes by Karen Alpert


I really wanted to like this, and did like some of it.

  • Alpert is honest about the experience of being a parent.  While the notion of parenthood is often romanticized, the everyday experiences are grimy and gritty.
  • This book recognizes the worries, realistic and unrealistic, that parents have.  You may be crazy, but you are not alone.
  • Many of the complaints are very "first world" (e.g. having to borrow wifi from in her mini van outside of Starbucks between preschool drop off for one kid and music class for the other).
