ABOUT THE BOOK
For 21st century mothers, there seem to be just two choices: live up to the Super Mom or give up to be the Slacker Mom. One's bad for you; one's bad for your kids.
So what's a momma to do?
In You're a Good Mom (and Your Kids Aren't So Bad Either): The 14 Secrets to Finding Happiness Between Super Mom and Slacker Mom", the Internet's favorite momma,
Jen Singer, tells all. Turns out you can raise perfectly good kids in that sweet spot between flash cards at breakfast and "donuts for dinner, kids!"
You'll find great tips like these:
- Don't answer the phone when the class mom calls.
- Your kid's birthday party isn't your coming-out celebration.
- Don't treat fine restaurants like a McDonald's PlayPlace.
- You think you're a "cool mom," but they think you're a pushover.
Filled with "that happened to me, too!" stories, YOU'RE A GOOD MOM offers giggles and a pat on the back for today's moms, whether they're deep in diapers or petrified by puberty.
PRAISE FOR YOU'RE A GOOD MOM
"Jen Singer's hilarious, there's no doubt about it. Yet it's also refreshing to be reminded how great regular moms are. You'll nod and laugh all the way through."
-- Sarah Smith, senior editor, Parenting
"As good as chocolate in book form! If this sanity-promising title caught your eye, you won't be disappointed: you'll find the exact same good-humored, feel-better wisdom on every page."
-Paula Spencer, author of Momfidence! An Oreo Never Killed Anybody and Other Secrets of Happier Parenting and Woman's Day "Momfidence" columnist
"Wow, what an easy, fun, enjoyable read! Jen's book provides welcome and sound advice to moms who just can't seem to stop the madness of trying to be perfect parents."
- Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, author of Sippy Cups are Not for Chardonnay and Naptime is the New Happy Hour
"Once again, Jen Singer gives moms a reality check -- and an all-knowing giggle. Her writing is truly laugh-out-loud funny! But it's also practical, with advice you can immediately act on. A welcome relief from other parenting books, especially since she admits that parenting isn't one-size-fits-all."
- Nicole Stagg, Director, GoodHousekeeping.com
"If you're a mom, you need this laugh out loud look at motherhood. Jen Singer makes the ultimate sense and helps you find that elusive, happy medium in which children and moms thrive."
- Susan Newman, Ph.D., author of Little Things Long Remembered: Making Your Children Feel Special Every Day

SPOT THE BOOK --GET A GOODY BAG
You're a Good Mom (and Your Kids Aren't So Bad Either) has been spotted in bookstores across the country. Have you seen it?
The first SIX people who send a photo of Good Mom in a book store to me will get a Good Mom goody basket.
Our first winner:
Amy Halstead
Annandale, VA
Jane Boursaw
Traverse City, Michigan
Jenn Petito
Centerport, New York
Jenn says: "I went to Borders today to get a copy of your book w/ the 3 kids in tow - 7, 4 and 16 months - I caused quite a stir to say the least - I was desperate to get it before I leave on a trip to CA w/ only the hubby for the first time in over 7 years and I wanted something to read... The (salesclerk) yelled to someone across the way, "Do we have that 'You're a Good Mom, It's Your Kids That Are Bad' book?" I had to clarify it.
"I think I sold about 3 other copies of the book while Andrew screamed and threw things and his brother and sister kept laughing. I cant wait to start reading it!"
