What I *wanted* was a book to help me figure out how to find common ground on parenting issues about which me & my spouse disagree. (You know, stuff like discussions about Should a SAHM have more “weight” in her say since she is home all day? Should we each parent according to our skills & comfort levels, as long as we agree on basic concepts like behavior guidelines, etc.?) All I got was a litany of “if you do X you’re being a Bad Parent; Good Parents do Y instead.” This book was less than helpful.

I haven’t read the whole thing yet, but I like what I’ve read so far. I like the idea of the man’s and the woman’s perspective being represented when it comes to parenting. I hope this will help my husband and I be more simpatico when it comes to our parenting styles.

I was so pleased about “Good Parents Bad Parenting”. I normally don’t write reviews but feel this book deserves one. It is a great book for anyone who is a parent. It address most if not all parenting situations and offers great tools on how to better yourself as a parent, a spouse and a person.
It also never made me feel like I was a bad parent. It only inspired me to be a better one.

Obviously Mamma Bamma did not read Good Parents Bad Parenting. This book was nothing on how she described it. Lisa Dunning offered great support and advice for parents to get on the same page. The book never blamed parents nor did it imply if you did x then you are a bad parent, only the contrary. Good Parents Bad Parenting was a very supportive and well thought out book. There were also a lot of research and support to back up Lisa Dunning’s views.
I recommend this book to everyone who is a parent-It really helped my realtionship with my husband as well as improved my parenting skills.

Good Parents Bad Parenting helped me so much with my family. Finally a book that discusses both parents point of views.
I loved working on mine and my husband’s family history. It explained a lot on how and why we both parent the way we do.
Bravo to you Lisa-I can’t wait for your next book!
