[Suzanne Thackston · Rating 4 out of 5]

I haven't read this book in a couple of decades, and it hasn't aged as well as I'd hoped. But then, I'm not the same person as I was when I first picked it up, still a young mother. It was written the year my older was born, 1986, although I didn't read it until a few years later, and I was still what I considered to be a moderate on the conservative end. Teresa is considerably more conservative than I, and while she's still funny and astute, I'm pretty far removed from some of things I used accept much more willingly even if I didn't agree.
But she's a conservative Catholic with 10 kids. Whaddya want?
I'm putting it at a 4, because I still really like it and will keep it on my shelf. Most of what's in there is timeless, and it's kind of fun to revisit the stuff that's passé. The warmth, humor and delight in the vagaries of parenting are all still there.
