Download or read book Operating Instructions written by Anne Lamott and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The acclaimed author of Bird by Bird brings her brilliant combination of humor and warmth to a "smart, funny, and comforting" chronicle of single motherhood (Los Angeles Times Book Review). It’s not like she’s the only woman to ever have a baby. At thirty-five. On her own. But Anne Lamott makes it all fresh in her now-classic account of how she and her son and numerous friends and neighbors and some strangers survived and thrived in that all important first year. From finding out that her baby is a boy (and getting used to the idea) to finding out that her best friend and greatest supporter Pam will die of cancer (and not getting used to that idea), with a generous amount of wit and faith (but very little piousness), Lamott narrates the great and small events that make up a woman’s life. "Lamott is a wonderfully lithe writer .... Anyone who has ever had a hard time facing a perfectly ordinary day will identify." —Chicago Tribune

Read an excerpt: Being a working mom is the most crazy, amazing, powerful, frustrating, loving experience you will ever have in your entire life. And I am here to tell you that you can do it! But you will never do it perfectly. Throw perfect out of your vocabulary. Just toss it out the window and keep on driving, because, sister, it ain't an option for you anymore. We've been fed a huge pack of lies. We've been told that we can bring home the bacon, fry it up in the pan, and feed our smiling, happy family with it. I am here to tell you that the quickest way to end up on a therapist's couch or crying into your glass of pinot noir at your girlfriend's house is to think that "perfect" and "working mother" belong in the same sentence. They don't. No one has it all. Save yourself the doctor's bill and the AA meetings and just accept the fact that if you choose to work and be a mom, life will be far from perfect.

Book excerpt: The 1st Easy-to-Follow Instruction Book for Raising Children. Expecting a child is one of the biggest turning points of any person’s life. But while the terminology around this happy event can be a bit baby-centric, the process of “having a baby” is only the very beginning. That baby is going to grow into a child, a teenager, and beyond—a unique individual with his or her own needs, wants, and fears. And as a mother, your responsibility is to nurture and give that child the best life you possibly can—to shape the future of your family, and maybe even the world as a whole, for generations to come. Being a good mother and raising a healthy, happy, and productive human being can seem an overwhelming, thankless challenge at times. And if your own parents did not give you a positive example to learn from, the task can be even more difficult. Written by mother of four Darlene Brooks, A Mother’s Manual serves as a straightforward and easy-to-follow guide for mothers everywhere—whether you’re looking to break an inter-generational cycle and give your child the joyful, loving childhood you never had or you’re just looking to ensure a brighter future for the little one you love so much.
