I just self published my parenting book on Amazon too. Here's why I chose to go that route. Why I Self Published My Parenting Book
Here's what it says on the Amazon site about who else can read it.

My practical parenting ebook hit the shelves last week. With the furor over the "French Mother" book and the tumult over last year's "Tiger (Chinese) Mom," I figured it was time for the All-American approach to being a…

Today I blogged about discovering why my teenage daughter was mysteriously fat. Please read it and if you see yourself or someone you love in my story, get help. You don't have to suffer alone.

Does your teenage daughter gain weight easily, have bad acne and perhaps facial hair? She may have PCOS a chronic condition affecting 10% of women. But, her doctor will be unlikely to diagnose it. Don't let her suffer. Fight the good fight.…

We may not have been the best parents ever (well, then again...) but we threw awesome birthday parties for our kids. We've never understood why some parents believe that throwing birthday parties is a competitive sport. Today's blog is…

When I worked outside the home, I felt guilty about not being at home with my daughters. When I was home, I had angst about not getting enough done at work. It was a lose-lose. But, then I realized that the loser was me. My workplace was fine with…

I'm "Fit to Print"
Posted on January 20, 2011 at 5:58am 0 Comments 0 Likes
Recently, Dr. Amy Chua‘s book, “Battle Hymn of the Tiger Mother,” has become the center of a debate about parenting. Chua contends that raising her daughters by a strict set of rules (no sleepovers, no computer games, etc.) is rooted in her Chinese heritage and produces a more successful person. She tells of not accepting anything less than an “A” grade, of making her kids practice their… Continue

Is the NY Times Really Threatened by the Mother Bloggers?
The article In Sunday's paper (March 12) began with a misogynistic, misleading headline (Honey, Don’t Bother Mommy. I’m Too Busy Building My Brand) and went down from there. The tone of the article is condescending and smacks of envy. As they say on SNL, “Really, NYT?

Need A Blog? Like a Hole in the Head.
Posted on December 29, 2009 at 7:21am 3 Comments 0 Likes
I figure the world needs another blog like a hole in the head. (Something my mother used to say..well not the blog part, but definitely the hole in the head part). But, here's the thing. In the 90s, I had two parenting books published. You've never heard of me so you can see how well they sold. I had a great agent who somehow managed to sell both of those despite the poor sales of the first one. Then I stopped writing books because I didn't have anything else to say. Now, I think I have… Continue

Susan Bearman said… - We have the funniest picture of my husband holding my preemie twins from many years ago. He is bent over and his (then) black hair blends into his black shirt, making him look like he has no head. Someday, I will submit it to the Enquirer with the caption: Headless man gives birth to preemie twins.

Marcy Gray Rubin said… Thank you for your kind words Debby. As I like to say I was damned lucky to get into the TV writing business and I was damned lucky to get out of it. I choose to work with sane people instead of insane people and they inspire me constantly.

So glad you enjoyed it, Debby. Amazing how many people TKAM touches. And how it continues to move and inspire me every time I reread it.
And thanks so much for taking the time to share your thoughts.
