When Dallas Louis decided that all she wanted was to meet and marry her Prince Charming and become a mom, she had no idea what was in store for her. But she would soon find out. After only seven months of dating the love of her life, she married him, and within the course of twenty-six months, she gave birth to three children. Her husband knew her longer pregnant than not pregnant! In this laugh-out-loud book, Dallas shares highlights of what happened in her world once she and her husband, Jeff, brought home three kids in a time span that was barely long enough to build a house, let alone build three humans. She would like listeners to find comfort in knowing they aren't the only ones suffering from post-traumatic stress syndrome or buyer's remorse. And, yes, it's okay to admit that both of these conditions apply to parenting, though hopefully not all the time. Channeling Erma Bombeck, Dallas will tell you the things your friends won't and the things other books are too afraid to print. With her irreverent humor and brash "tell it like it is" style, she'll help you laugh at everyday situations, easing the pressure of the toughest job in the world: being a mom.… (més)

At times poignant and funny, Dallas Louis retells her life after having 3 kids within a short period of time. Her sarcasm comes through in her writing.

You'll laugh, you'll cry and you may even get mad at her husband for being so busy all the time that it seemed as though she was a single parent at times. ( )

Reading another mother's stories about raising her kids can always evoke a laugh, a "thank God I'm not the only person that happened to" or a "thank God that never happened to me." Dallas Louis's book Why Some Animals Eat Their Young brought out all these responses. I was turned off, however, by the undertone in her writing that if you as a parent don't raise your kids as she did, there is something wrong with you or there will be something wrong with them. No parent should feel bad about working outside the home, for example, no matter why they choose to do so. ( )

I'm still puzzling over this book a bit - it doesn't begin as an advice book, but it sure ends as one, so it also isn't simply a biography. It is not an essay collection, either - no one chapter can be read on its own as it would be completely context-less, and yet there also isn't a major theme to the book as a whole (except "motherhood") and it isn't told chronologically as far as I could tell. Each chapter is also only loosely held together so that the chapter breaks sometimes seem arbitrary, or based on chapter length rather than chapter subject.

The book doesn't read as being about the universal motherhood experience because it is the story of a fairly privileged, rich, Christian, American Southerner white woman's story. And yet the final two chapters seem to believe that it IS imparting universal wisdom. So while I enjoyed much of the first part of the book (the author is pretty funny and the writing was sometimes repetitive but never boring), the last two or three chapters felt very preachy and left a bad taste in my mouth.

I was prepared to really enjoy this book, but it ended up being not my cup of tea. ( )

This is a really hilarious, relatable, and delightful book about motherhood and parenting and the ups and downs of it all. Highly recommend, even if you aren't a parent. ( )

I received a free copy of this book from the LTER in exchange for my honest opinion.

My first reaction: Erma Bombeck is reincarnated. The author describes life as is... I still don't understand how she managed to survive with 3 babies so close together. She describes the ups and downs of motherhood with a great sense of humor, but she still manages to also impart solutions that can help other parents that might feel overwhelmed. ( )
