Whether you have raised boys or have ever wondered what it is like to raise boys then you should read this hilarious book by Diane Auten, The Joys of Raising Boys….The Good, the Bad and the Hilarious.
Diane has compiled some of the funniest conversations, comments and questions that her boys have come up with over the years. This book is full of conversation that no mom ever thinks she will have on a daily basis, that is until she actually become the mother of boys.
In between all of the ridiculous and funny stories though, Diane shares some of the sweetest, nicest stories about her boys. She makes you realize that as crazy as things can be with a house full of boys, you are lucky to be their mother and have them as part of your life.
Diane guides you in how to have better communication with your sons all while keeping things lighthearted and funny. I only hope that she continues to write about their teen years.
Besides being a mom and a wonderful writer, Diane Auten is a communication studies professor, consultant, and speaker. You can find her at dianeauten.com.
I want to thank Diane for allowing me to review her book, I feel honored and thoroughly enjoyed reading it.
