A Second Helping

by Robin O'Bryant

From the syndicated humor column Robin's Chicks, comes a short collection of 22 of her readers' best-loved columns that are so funny you'll find yourself calling your best friend to read them out loud.

A follow up to O'Bryant's popular humor book, Ketchup is a Vegetable and Other Lies Moms Tell Themselves, A Second Helping serves up a little more insight into the shenanigans of Robin and her chicks. From realizing she should have paid more attention when the hula hoops were passed out in gym class, to near death by spray tanning, to realizing her daughters have given her more gifts than she could ever give them in return, A Second Helping is sure to make you laugh out loud and realize that being a parent is hilarious-- when it's happening to someone else.

Another fun read from Robin, I can see so much of my parenting style in her and it's always refreshing to know we're not alone in not being a perfect parent

Cute and an easy read. I laughed out loud a few times

The first book was better and had more laugh out loud moments. This book was 2-2.25 stars. A few sections were amusing. Overall still enjoyed this author’s take on motherhood. It was a quick read.

This one was a lot shorter than Ketchup is a Vegetable (it was even double spaced to try to make it seem longer like we used to do in high school??) Still some funny relatable stories, but it got a bit repetitive ending one chapter and starting a new chapter with references to the same story. The first one was better.

I am almost done this book. It is funny but the first book was much better! It is a collection of short happenings in the author's life as she raises her 3 daughters. As a parent, I laughed out loud at many of the things I could relate to

I laughed so hard with her first book, I decided to read the second. I enjoyed it, but it wasn't as funny as her first one. Plus it seemed much shorter in content that her 1st one as well. Overall though an enjoyable easy read that parents of young children will enjoy.

Similar to her first book - a quick read with some cute & some funny stories. Nothing mind-blowing, but still fun to read.

Good advice

I love these books! They remind me to make light out of frustrating situations and if you can't, just cry! Lol!

Definitely not as good as her first book, Ketchup is Vegetable. Quick read, though.
