Mama Rock’s Rules audiobook

Surprisingly intelligent and delightful. I thought it would be fun and interesting but had no idea how excellent, deep and inspiring this book really is! Lots of ideas form babies to the big kids. Wonderful stories form the Rock house are a bonus. Love hearng about "Chrissy" and his brothers and sisters, but there is so much more. You can keep this book forever and give it to every new mom. It's for everyone. Loved it!

This is an excellent read for parents (married, divorced, or single). Chris Rock's Mom gives grounded advice regarding child rearing. She particularly focusses on how to have a balanced life with children.

Rose Rock is comedian Chris Rock's mama. She raised seven children and this book tells you how she did it. It may be the most important child-rearing manual since Dr. Benjamin Spock published his seminal work.Moma Rock's Rules ius chock full of practical advice that will make any mother's job much easier. If a parent took half the tidbits called "Mama's Mojo" that are spread throughout the book and put them to use, he or she would find raising his or her child a piece of cake.In 10 informative chapters Mama Rock does what a whole season of Super Nanny tries to do. Each chapter includes a summary of rules and strategies at the end. I like the way the book is laid out almost as much as I do the incredible information contained in it.If you are serious about parenting and want to raise some great kids, buy this book. At $22.95, it is a great investment in your child's future.

This was a fun book and full of good insights for mothers. I thoroughly enjoyed it and it made me laugh. Your point of reference, as a mother, only extends as far as your own mother or grandmother, so it is a very cool thing to read how other mothers have tackled the task of raising children. I found a great deal of her advice to be brilliant, and have started trying some of Rose Rock's ideas with my sons. This little book covers everything from discipline to mealtime to respect for your elders, and her approaches are practical and reasonable. There is none of the psychobabble that tends to run amok in parenting books, and it is written in a direct and personal manner - as if a family friend were giving you advice. I completely loved it, and highly recommend it.

Review of the audiobook, as read by the author:Mama Rock was very stilted in her reading of this book, making her sound elderly. Her reading lead to the feeling that she was relatable and down to earth.When I first started the book, I didnt know it was a parenting book! Opps. The rules are a wonderful guide for parenting, most especially older children.

No, I don't have kids and really never intend to, but this is still a good resource for understanding kids and learning how to treat them. It's full of memorable stories and is a pretty enjoyable read. The audio is read by the author, and although she's not a strong narrator, I think she does a nice job for a first timer.

This book had some really good ideas about parenting and was still fun to read. I like the Santa idea with the powdered sugar I have to use that one.

EXCELLENT, Must Read for all parents!

This book is freaking awesome. Every parent should read it.

Good tips on how to manage a household, establish traditions, and in general, raise your kids. I liked that it wasn't too scientific or based on studies...it was basically "notes from the field."

Of the many parenting books I've read over the years, this one was the most fun. Solid stuff here, too.
