No Regrets Parenting: Turning Long Days and Short Years into Cherished Moments with Your Kids by Harley A. Rotbart
3.0
I agree with the general concepts in this book wholeheartedly, and I appreciated many of his ideas and his thinking on how to spend quality time with your children in new and different ways. I think there is lots of good advice to be found here.
However, the tone of the book, particularly toward the beginning, came off a bit presumptuous and judgmental to me. I felt like the author made some not so subtle assumptions about the makeup of families (talking a lot about Dad and Mom together but not at all about single Mom or Dad or how THEY might juggle these aspirations... let alone Mom and Mom or Dad and Dad) and that stuck out. Additionally, I started to feel towards the end like the book was a bit repetitive- almost as if the author was running out of content but wanted to extend the novel.
Overall, this was a good read, but not as good as I had hoped or expected.
