It's an unspoken law of good book groups that, by the end of the meeting, members talk more about kids, diets, sex, overscheduled lives, politics and one another than the chosen book. Make Momfidence! your reading-group selection and you can mine those very same topics--even sex--while guiltlessly sticking to the main agenda. Because those topics are what Momfidence! is about.
You can even legitimately work all-essential chocolate into your meeting: Serve Oreos with your merlot in thematic keeping with the book's subtitle! Based on Paula Spencer's popular columns in Woman's Day and Parenting, Momfidence! is a hilarious and sanity-saving look at "perfect motherhood" that renews readers' confidence in their innate parenting skills. Discussion Questions
* Is motherhood a job or an adventure?
* How would you describe being a mom: hard, easy, scrambled or fried? * What are your own woulda-coulda-shoulda-oughtas? * Why do you suppose Paula's Gram was so jolly and lived to be 99 even though she ate pound cake and wore a bra size not found in Victoria's Secret? * What maxims did your grandmother or mother parent by that might serve you well today? * Should kids be served Oreos and Pringles in this age of obesity--or are we overdoing the anti-junk crusades? * What do you make of the cost, travel, and commitment involved in children's sports today: an opportunity for family bonding or a homewrecker? * Which is worse: TV or computers? * What do you do when your child is playing on a dead whale and ignoring you? |
