Certain to appeal to all parents, whether they are expecting or raising their first new addition, in-the-trenches veterans, or empty-nesters, this delightful Chicken Soup book offers a collection of inspiring and entertaining stories that relate to the triumphs, tribulations, challenges, and joys of raising a family.

With contributions from celebrity and "ordinary" parents alike, each story speaks to the range of emotions and experiences of all types of parents: single parents, foster parents, parents of adopted children, or part of a two-parent family with biological children. By sharing the personal experiences of others, this book will offer inspiration and advice to parents going through a difficult time; provide reassurance to those who worry that they're not living up to the Supermom or Superdad ideal; and share a wealth of experiences that show why being a parent is such a worthwhile and rewarding vocation.

This book is a must-listen for any parent or parent-to-be!

Stories for all parents

I really enjoyed listening to these stories and plan to keep this audiobook on my IPOD to listen to whenever I need a little uplifting. The stories are actual stories that parents have written. Some are sad, some are funny, some are dramatic. A great listen for any parent.
