Moms get a lot of advice from TV shows; magazines; friends; their own mothers; and more. But all of this well-meaning counsel tends to paralyze moms. They worry about their children's self-esteem; their health; and whether or not their children like them. They even agonize over scrapbooking every moment of development. Julie Barnhill says; "Enough already!" Unapologetically raucous; slightly irreverent; and refreshingly relevant; One Tough Mother exposes the mind-numbing; brain-draining; confidence-depleting minutia moms get stuck in. With humor and a sharp wit; Julie offers moms a dose of reality and a way to calm their fears about raising children. She encourages moms to straighten up; take back the control from their children; and stand firm on the nonnegotiables. With her help; any mom can become one tough mother.
