Really interesting scientific studies on birth order. I like the practical tips and tricks. The typos made it feel less credible and although he’s a PHd it felt like a lot of judgmental masculine opinions.

This was a short book, thankfully.
Although there was some good information, it was written to encompass a rather old-fashioned situation.
It wasn't so much about being a step-parent as it was about blending two complete families. I wanted something more that was how to relate to a step-child, how to step-parent. Also, it shouldn't be about the man being the bread-winner and the woman being the housewife. That doesn't necessarily have anything to do with parenting, about him making money and her just being with all the kids.

Every blended family should read this. It sets what the priorities ought to be in a family that is struggling to merge. Easy to read and only 58 pages long so no excuses. :)
