More About This Book

Overview

Fox News host and busy mother of eight E. D. Hill offers the antidote to permissive parenting by giving parents permission to be in charge.

Instructional and conversational, I'm Not Your Friend, I'm Your Parent challenges parents to reclaim their roles, make the hard decisions, and put their children's characters and well-being ahead of peer pressue and social status. With entertaining stories from her own family and those of others she has encountered in her profession as a journalist, E. D. tackles parental challenges:


  • Manners: thank you and other common courtesies

  • Discipline: tantrums and time-outs

  • Money: chores and allowances

  • Sportsmanship: fair vs. foul

  • Clothing: fashion and dress codes

  • Teenagers: structure and consequences

  • Includes a special chapter on Driving, Dating, and other Death-Defying Feats along with contracts for use with teens

    Informative and Practical

    The author uses a no-nonsense approach to parenting that is refreshing in today's society. I appreciate her willingess to say that no parent is perfect, but still give the tools to do the best job possible. Don't miss the driving contract in the back. It's priceless.

    The job is rearing not raising the applicant is a parent

    The author does an excellent job to back up her position so for that I give her a 10. However she fails to bring to the surface the strong narcissistic trend in women today that have bought into the TV commercials that to age to 40 and beyond is the most crucial event in their lives. As a result today's mother surrenders her responsibility of rearing and simple raises her children while focusing her attention on beauty creams. I have found this most prevalent where the mother has been denied a role mother by her won mother in the first place. Make no mistake about it the sins of the grandmother is like a birthmark. The sin is therefore carried down from daughter to daughter, one generation to the next. Make no mistake, the role of the mother is far more critical in setting values than the father. One of my opening statements to classes is to translate what a an infant often asks her mother, 'Who is this guy that keeps interrupting us.' Make no mistake about it is the mother that must teach her child that their love must be shared with the father. I've seen so many instances where the father is ineffectual where the mother has failed to make clear that both parents share the dual responsibility of rearing not raising. We raise corn and we raise pigs but when it comes to kids they have to know and understand they are being reared not just raised. I am a father to 5 sons and 3 daughters. I have had more problems in this regard with my 3 daughters than my sons because my wife wants to be my daughter's friend more than a mother who must often resort to ¿Tough Love¿ As a result an alliance often develops where the father is displaced until an emergency like a pregnancy surfaces. One client learned of her daughter's pregnancy in the 5th month. One client's son actually tried to perform an abortion on his girlfriend who was 2 months pregnant. Where was the mpther? Don't ask!
