Hooray! I love how the author saw a situation and dove in wholeheartedly to do what is best for her family and her kids! Entitlement with kids today is a hot topic of many conversations, but this author didn't just talk about it -- she actually did something about it! She shares her one year experiment of teaching her children "real life." As moms, we do want to make life easier for our kids, but we don't realize that by doing so much for them, we are actually harming them. The book is the author's journey of teaching her two preteens and two teenagers the facts of life: laundry, cooking, cleaning, hospitality, charity work and so much more, taking a new project to learn each month of the year. She shares the successes, the things that maybe didn't quite work out as she hoped, and gives honest commentary of what she learned as she went through the process.
