I'm not a mother, so maybe I shouldn't have even tried to read this book. But I was attracted to the idea of a book about the ordinary day. But I spent the first half of the book frustrated by some of the decisions the author made and the second half pulling bits of interest out of long chapters of reflection and description. Maybe it will be worth revisiting if I become a mother one day and am getting ready to let go of my children.
