The Critics Rave! REVIEWS AND EDITORIAL COMMENTS RE: BOB’S HUMOROUS FAMILY LIFE ESSAYS "Bob Schwartz is becoming the Erma Bombeck of the 21st century. His take on parenting is down-to-earth, easy to identify with and laugh out loud funny." Karen Gardner, Editor
"I always get a kick out of reading Bob's humorous essays, with his consistently funny take on parenting. With dry wit, he rolls out inventive images of family life (a family yoga class where everyone else "seemed to be direct descendants of rubber bands") and of the joy and angst of being a parent (a long-awaited letter from camp that had "certainly not. . . as much detail as the U.S. Tax Code"). We all know that parenting is a serious job, but Bob is here to remind us that laughing matters too." Farn Dupre, Editor

Bob's essays on family life, raising children, and parenting take a simple look at the every day experiences we all have, including the ups and downs, and he reminds us through his humor and wit, the lighter side of this important role we all share as parents. You'll find yourself laughing with each column and undoubtedly, finding the same humor then in your own family life. This candid and unique blend of humor has become a favorite column for our readers!" Liz Buckingham,

"Bob's very funny essays are highly entertaining and a humorous delight. He helps keep the tough job of parenting in a different light. Every parent can relate to his topics and possibly look at them from a different perspective. While reading his work you simply can't keep from laughing. Whether a new parent or a seasoned parent, he is a must read." Linda Greco, Editor
"The Village Family Magazine has been delighted to use Bob's columns for years. Not only is Bob a great and funny story teller, he has keen insight into experiences parents can relate to. The reader more than likely can say, "Aha, I now just what he's talking about." And as parents, it's great to read about shared experiences in such a positive and humorous light. Thanks, Bob, for making us take ourselves a little less seriously. Laurie Neill, Editor-in-Chief,
“Bob is a true parent - able to take the good with the truly awful and enjoy the humor and fun that comes with the job. His hilarious essays on parenting touch everyone and are very popular with our readers. As an editor I think he is great to work with - very flexible and professional. We're thrilled to have him be one of our regular freelancers for our parenting magazine in Central Virginia.” Jennifer Bryerton, Co-Publisher,
“At About Families we feel that including Bob Schwartz’s humor column rounds out our monthly publication. The perspective he offers is a great balance for all the professional advice offered by our other freelance writers. I look forward to receiving and reading his column each month, and feel he must have a "window" into my home since much of the "situation comedy" at our home somehow finds its way into his column. It is entertaining to see parenting humorously presented as an ongoing learning experience that so many encounter along life’s journey.” Mari Conners, Editor,
