Product Description

www.babyworld.co.uk
"This book was a unique breathe of fresh air... (It has) lots of
excellent and truly hilarious real life quotes from parents that had me
rolling about laughing whilst also nodding my head in total agreement ...
An excellent and innovative read."


Product Description
This work presents the no-holds-barred truth about what having a baby can do to your marriage - and what you can do about it. In the months after a first child is born, all hell breaks loose. A crying newborn can reduce a grown man to tears, turn a sane woman into a bottle-wielding shrew, and otherwise test the strongest of marriages. It sometimes seems that a baby's mission is to destroy everything it comes in contact with: your furniture, your clothes, your car, and your marriage. This funny, compassionate, opinionated guide addresses how the early parenting years impact marriage, using real-life stories from both men and women to tell the whole truth. It discusses in detail couples' frustrations over the division of labour, changing roles and expectations, sex (or lack thereof), and dealing with parents and in-laws. With real quotes from real people, and the authors own combined experiences, it offers a positive, humorous and solution-oriented approach. It addresses the impact of parenthood on marriage, detailing the insights of and lessons learned by both men and women. It provides common sense, tried-and-tested strategies to address the negative impact young children can have on a relationship. It helps you understand why this challenge occurs, exploring both the male and female perspective, and how you can address it. Written by three feisty women, who have been there and can vouch for the fact that complaining gets you nowhere, "Baby-proofing Your Marriage" answers those nagging doubts in the back of the married person's mind: 'Are we the only ones bartering over who will do what and arguing about who has more free time?' And offers you easy, realistic solutions to keep you sane and your relationship healthy.

4.0 out of 5 stars Pretty good advice, 21 May 2007
By syke930 (London, England) - See all my reviews
Although it's nothing you can't find out on relationship websites this book is pretty good, concise, easy reading for the busy mums out there. Lots of good information in a good easy format, written with a touch of comedy. Full of good advice, anecdotes and tips - I'd recommend giving it a shot.

5.0 out of 5 stars confirmation that I am normal and not insane!, 4 Feb 2008
This book has saved my sanity and brought me back from the edge of dispair! Who knew that so many other women feel the same way when they become mummies!!! This book echos the rants and moans of all my friends with babies, and it is a gentle reassurance that what you go through with a new baby is completely normal, and men, generally, are all the same! This is one of the best books I have read about parenting / babies etc and will bring a smile to your face if nothing else!

5.0 out of 5 stars I thought it was great, 27 Jun 2007
By S. Hope-Mason (London, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
It touches on important subjects like the great divide between how men and women view life and marriage and children. It should not put you off having children because all of us know that it is worth all the effort. And isn't something that is written to help us through the troughs worthy of some commendation?

Well done girls. I personally think you did a great job.
