I felt really validated and less alone in my own parenting journey after reading it. except, your girlfriend happens to be a therapist, an expert on child-rearing, and a mom too! This book is more like you and your girlfriend sitting down and having a heart-to-heart conversation about being a mom. If that's what you're looking for, you'll be disappointed (and the author kinda says that in the introductory chapter). It's not a traditional "parenting" book that tries to tell you how to raise your kids or tackle certain topics. This book was an interesting combination of research, true/real-life experiences of parents, and parenting help. The book also talks about basic parenting techniques for discipline, tips on how to manage home life and work, and then also discusses stuff like Postpartum Depression. The author tells her own story, but also combines it with the experiences of other parents. It discusses the different problems that moms face when having to go back to work, like breastfeeding in the workplace and having to find a daycare. So this book was all about being a parent when you have to work.
