You didn't know you had to drill your child on how to draw the proper stick person in order to get him into the best neighborhood preschool. Nor did you realize you could-or should-have had him in Mandarin classes since birth. And you must have missed the memo on playdate etiquette. As the saying goes, "Momma said they're be days like these . . ." Except she didn't. Parenting has changed tremendously since the days when the majority of stay-at-home moms swapped secrets, spotted one another on mom duty, and shared valuable advice across the fence. This void of support was exactly why stay-at-home mom Jen Singer created www.mommasaid.net, in 2002. Since that time, she's become one of the most popular resources for moms online, with her site winning awards from Blogsphere and Forbes Best of the Web in 2005. Here, in Jen's signature style, is her second book in the Stop Second-Guessing Yourself series, a breezy mommy manifesto for modern times. Using her funny style, she offers her practical, prescriptive tips to help moms stop the guilt and self-doubt that comes with parenting today, and gives the girlfriendly skinny about life with preschoolers in all areas of sleep, discipline, siblings, and family relations, plus candid confessions and real world "what works" tips from hundreds of other moms she's surveyed on her site.
