Lose the Cape! Never Will I Ever (and then I had Kids!)Most of us had grandiose ideas of what we would be like as parents; what we would allow our children to do and all those things we would never allow. We swore we would never let our child watch more than 30 minutes of television, or sleep in our bed, or eat chicken nuggets or God forbid, guzzle cheese from a can (gasp!). Yet, the moment those little bundles of joy entered our lives, reality took over. Soon enough, we realized that before children, we knew nothing about being parents.From breastfeeding to co-sleeping, pledging to feed our children all-natural, home-cooked meals and so forth, there often comes a point in time where surviving parenthood supersedes your views and your “nevers” slip away. Right?Never Will I Ever is a collection of essays by mothers (and one brave dad!) who share their stories of how they evolved as parents and learned that when it comes to raising children, we can never say never. This is a a special anthology not only funny stories, (and there are some laugh – out – loud – funny stories!) but also some that are so moving and touching. These parents reveal the true tales of parenthood. We believe many will benefit from reading these stories and learning to ?lose the cape.?? Contributors: Andrea Isiminger E.R.

Have you, in childless innocence, watched with searing judgment as a desperate parent shoved junk food at their child in the supermarket, only to find yourself doing the exact same thing years (and a child) later? Then this book is for you! Lose The Cape by Alexa Bigwarfe and Kerry Rivera is a comical look into the lives of parents who have suddenly found themselves fighting a never-ending battle with an unseen force; with little hope for survival. I love how each story shows the views and (dare I say) prejudices before becoming parents. The after part of the story is humbling and can be read as an entertaining cautionary tale for future parents. Thanks to the authors for encouraging honesty and comedy in parenting; it is so important to be able to laugh at our mistakes and perceived weaknesses sometimes. This book is an excellent resource for the overwhelmed parent, reminding them that you don't have to be a superhero to be the best parent, so lose the cape!
