Why should you buy “I’m Not Your Friend, I’m Your Parent”? Here are a few emails that have come in. This is from Marie in Pennsylvania-
“I have been reading your new book and I must admit I am in stitches half the time because it’s like you took an excerpt from my daily life only with more kids. I am a stay at home mother of 3 daughters, Abigail is 9, Madison is 6 and Phoebe is 3. Reading through your book has given me so much encouragement that I am not insane (well, not totally anyways). I am only halfway through, but found the part of the book about allowances invaluable. This has been an issue of late in our household and I found the chore guide and info on the websites to be of great help!”
And from Maria-
“E.D. I loved your book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!I couldn’t put it down. It reinforced things that I already knew and at the same time gave me tips on things I didn’t know.”
And from Mary in Ohio-
“I heard you discuss it on FNC and planned to read it and then share it with my daughter-in-law. After only a few chapters, however, I ordered another copy and had it sent to her directly. Didn’t want to waste any time! It is so refreshing to have a book that is full of practical advice for non-permissive parents!”

I’m not a perfect parent and no one else is. But…raising 8 kids in a yours, mine and ours environment certainly teaches a person valuable lessons! This book is the ANTIDOTE to permissive parenting. If you ever feel guilty saying “No”… or question your wisdom when your kids say “But everyone else’s mom lets them” …or perhaps wonder if you can be a best friend and a parent to your child, then you need and will LOVE this book.

Everyone asks me what Bill is like. I explain that he is one of the truest, most loyal friends a person could have. He will do anything to help a person in need. However, anyone who is an enemy better run because Bill is spending life pursuing justice. Why is he the way he is? What do his former history students think about his tough teaching approach? AND what is he wearing in the picture on page 163? That is worth the price of the book alone! After reading this very open, painfully honest, hilariously funny book you will absolutely understand what makes Bill tick.

I weigh about 125 pounds. I’m not bragging and I do eat! When I met Dr. Arthur Agaston I was about 20 pounds heavier. I’d just had my fifth child and was having a tough time getting the baby weight off. Dr. Agaston’s diet changed me. I’ll honestly tell you the first three days were tough but then it was a cakewalk. Now, thanks to this great cookbook, I can cook healthy, low fat meals that everyone in the family (ages 4-16) enjoys! As a bonus for busy moms-and who isn’t a busy mom-the meals can usually be prepared start to finish in less than 20 minutes.
Get the book. It works. I give it to my friends.

Everyone who watches Fox News Channel knows Dr. Manny. I’ve known him since he saved my life and the life of my then unborn third child. He is a medical miracle man. Now he’s written a great diet book. If you like Latin food and want a hot body this is the book to get.

I am shocked more people don’t go to Block Island and that it isn’t at the top of every family travel guide. We stayed at the only resort on the island, Champlin’s. It was terrific. Clean, large rooms. Don’t pay extra for a room with a view because you’re never in the room anyway. They had a terrific playground, pool, beach, watersports, restaurant, snack bar and one of the two movie theaters on the island. If you prefer to rent a home you need to plan ahead. They book up very quickly. Casual is the best way to descirbe the island. They don’t recommend bringing cars since there is only one gas station. If you do bring a car make car ferry reservations early. The vast majority of people bike, walk or use mopeds to get around. Rentals are easy and relatively inexpensive. Think Bermuda in America minus the long shorts and men wearing knee high socks and you’ve got the picture of Block Island. The fast ferry from either New London, CT or Galilee, RI is about a half hour. Fins has the freshest seafood. Skip Aldo’s pizza unless you like it doughy. Do not skip the dessert at Aldo’s! Yum. Candy and home made ice cream shops are plentiful. You can get weekly licenses for shelling. Nothing tastes better than freshly made clam chowder! We have visited Martha’s Vineyard and Nantucket several times and think Block Island is the way they used to be 50 years ago. A lovely slice of old fashioned America.
