Oakblossoms Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I am reading this right now. It's really good. I think I've read every book about raising boys. They have all left a bad taste in my mouth. I'm so happy with this one. You can see quite a lot of it on google books. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doodle Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 I recently discovered this one too and really, really love it! I've maxed out my renewals and need to return it to the library soon. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blossom'sGirl Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Just ordered from the library as I sit here with nerf darts whizzing past my head because I am inadvertently in the middle of the 4 boys daily lunch hour nerf war. Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doodle Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 ... as I sit here with nerf darts whizzing past my head because I am inadvertently in the middle of the 4 boys daily lunch hour nerf war. Sounds like my house this morning, but I only have one. Doodle would love to have some company! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawn in OH Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks for the book suggestion. I just ordered it from the library. I thought it might help with these 3 boys. Four if Dad counts. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oakblossoms Posted June 16, 2010 Author Share Posted June 16, 2010 Just ordered from the library as I sit here with nerf darts whizzing past my head because I am inadvertently in the middle of the 4 boys daily lunch hour nerf war. Thanks I asked the boys yesterday if they want to go camping to the same campground or a new one. It has bunkers and it's an old military base. My 13 year old. The one who is bigger than me. The one who is always talking about how he is going to live his life. The one who gets upset with us and tells us, "I'm almost a man." He said, "can we take our nerf guns and have a war in the bunkers?" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dansamy Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Boys sure are different, aren't they? Maybe if I'd grown up with any brothers, I'd be less surprised about boys. As it is, it was my mother, my sister and me. There was rarely a "man of the house" around. My boys never cease to boggle my mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
1bassoon Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Would this be a good read for a husband, as well? Or is it directed at moms? My dh might enjoy it - he grew up in a very female-oriented household, and he might like a new perspective as he parents our now teen son.

Sophia Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Boys sure are different, aren't they? Boys are great. Mine are exhausting and no fun to go shoe shopping with (you're gonna try on another pair?!) but I'm sooo grateful for my three boys. Thanks for the book recommendation.

Mine are no fun to take on any kind of shopping trip. "Didn't you just look at clothes at the last three stores?" "Awww, man! More books?!?" I love them, but wowsers! They're different.

elegantlion Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Adding to my list as we speak. I love boys. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know if they have audio. But, I usually get my husband audio books of things I've enjoyed. I load them on his i-pod when he isn't looking:tongue_smilie: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
myfunnybunch Posted June 16, 2010 Share Posted June 16, 2010 Thanks for the book recommendation. :) I put it on hold at the library! What particularly did you appreciate about it? Cat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
