The Detroit News Feature Story Mirror Newspapers Feature Story Book Review in January Magazine Book Review in Armchair Interviews Book Review at KidsRunning.com "Bob is incredibly funny and I couldn't put his book down! This wonderfully orchestrated and hilarious masterpiece will leave you rolling on the floor with laughter while nodding in total agreement!" Jodie Lynn, nationally syndicated columnist of
"Bob Schwartz has written a glorious account about the day-to-day lessons of parenting. The book is wonderfully humorous, yet wise. It's all about what really matters: enjoying the most magnificent role of our lives: parenting! I highly recommend the book!" Dr. Michele Borba, author of Don't Give Me That Attitude!, No More Misbehavin', and Nobody Likes Me...Everybody Hates Me
"Would Somebody Please Send Me to My Room is so well-written and so very funny, which are reasons enough to read it. But here's another: it's a great reminder that children aren't meant to be perfect - that not even parents are meant to be perfect. All we can do is our best, and just thank goodness for the whole unpredictable, confounding, and wonderful experience - which Bob so humorously and delightfully depicts - of having kids." Muffy Mead-Ferro, author of best-selling Confessions of a Slacker Mom
"Bob Schwartz has written an insightful and hilarious book, but it has a limited appeal. The only readers who will enjoy it are people who have children, who don't have children or who were once children. I have three sons, so I really loved it, and it has helped me make the decision to sell my children on eBay." David Brenner, Comedian, Author and Father
"Whether you're dealing with a baby who won't sleep through the night, a school-age kid who doesn't do the chores, or a teenager eager to use a new driver's license, you know that parenting is a big job filled with responsibility, limit setting, and endless teaching. Bob Schwartz has been there, and he knows that every parent needs a good laugh to lighten the day. Bob has an uncanny knack of writing about the everyday twists and turns of parenthood and letting us know that we're not alone. He shines humor on our day-to-day foibles, allowing us to laugh at ourselves and find more joy in our journey." Elizabeth Pantley, author of numerous parenting books including The No-Cry Sleep Solution, Gentle Baby Care, and Kid Cooperation: How to Stop Yelling, Nagging and Pleading and Get Kids to Cooperate
"My advice to parents these days is to "lighten up", and Bob Schwartz helps us do just that with his wonderfully amusing book. There is no way we can take ourselves as seriously while this very funny writer offers us a glimpse of the sometimes-riotous high jinks of family life. I laughed out loud as Bob relayed experiences such as bringing a new baby home for the first time, trying to assemble the all too-many parts of a new toy, and packing for the family vacation. When it comes to dealing with the frustrations of parenting, laughter sometimes truly is the best medicine, and Bob delivers in large doses! This gem of a book will lift the spirits of even the most sleep-deprived, cranky, or discouraged parent. Treat yourself to this book and a steady flow of belly laughs!"
