Would you actually consider writing a book of your parenting experiences?

Even if it wasn't a best seller, do you think it would be neat for others to get a look inside the days of a stay at home mom (or working mom for that matter)? Just a thought.Would you actually consider writing a book of your parenting experiences?
I don't think your idea is silly at all. Although there are lots of parents out there, I think we all enjoy reading about other's experiences. It always makes me feel normal when I read articles on parenting written by actual parents. If I were a witty or funny I might write something. As of now, my writing skills are lacking. However, it would be kind of fun to write a journal or something to give to my kids if they ever become parents.Would you actually consider writing a book of your parenting experiences?
Not on parenting particularly. I've talked about writing one on our life choices before, which would include having kids of course. More of a self help type book. I doubt I ever will though. I do have a decent size books worth of poetry I've written over the last 10 years. I've been looking into self publishing that. As for anything else. I don't have the time to dedicate to anything like that at this point. Maybe once the kids are bigger and in school I will go back to writing again. Since kids, I haven't really written much of anything.






I think a few dozen (or perhaps hundred) people have already had that idea, so no. Though sometimes when browsing books written by parenting ';experts'; I can't help but think that, geez, if you can make money spouting off unsupported opinions like that then maybe I'm missing out. Geez, and all we get are lousy points! Maybe we could compile 100 of our Y! Answers best answers and make a million dollars. ;-)
Why not? Sometimes there are just people that dont want to listen to a ';doctor'; that thinks they know everything and just see what a person in their situation did. I know i loved books like that. But right now im busy writing 2 novels, 1 about my childhood so that there is a book for children that come from abusive parents and the other a fantasy...Which gets put out first i dont have a clue
Not that inparticular, but I've put together little memories, funny or wonderful things that have happened to me as a mother, on a Word Doc. Maybe I'll publish it some day, when I have enough. You've read a couple of them, different times when people ask ';What is a great story about your child.'; Here's one... you might remember:





There's goats and cows at our favorite Ice Cream joint. After their treat, Evan and Gina enjoy feeding their cones to the goats. The kids were at the fence when a very nice, grandmotherly-type woman approached them to initiate small talk. Evan looked at her and said very territorially, ';Hey. Weee'rrre standing here.'; The woman replied something along the lines of, ';Oh my,'; and excused herself. She smiled and winked at me as she walked away, so I knew she had not taken it personally. ';That was rude,'; I said and frowned at Evan, who gulped.


Strike Two. We had to walk by the same woman to leave. She was grinning as we approached, practically rubbing her hands together. She exaggeratedly put her hands on her hips and spread out like a fullback. “Hey!” she said, '; I'mmmm standing here!'; Evan blinked, looked at her with no expression at all and said, ';That was rude.';





Anyway, I keep them all together and open/read it when I want a smile.
I would.


I thought about it, a few months ago. I get really fed up with reading the factious lies in *Parenting Books* so I thought it would be a good idea to write my own.


However I wrote a chapter, then became too busy.





One day I will finish it, and you will read it.
Naw, I wouldn't even bother. Most people want to do their own thing no matter what someone else has to say. I'll share my experiences and what I have learned with those who ask, but to try to market it? I don't think so.
I wouldn't. There are so many books out there on the topic it seems like a waste of time. I'm happy sharing my experiences with family and friends, and really they are the only ones who need to know anyway.
I think so, if it were a humorous look at a day in the life of a mom, because lets face it, parenthood can be pretty funny.
Im no expert by any means, but if i wrote a book about parenting i would call it.


';Parenting, What Worked For Me';
yeah I think that would be cool. I like to read true stories.
no. i don't think others would find my son as exciting as i find him.
Of course. I know all there is to know about mothering a child. I don't abuse my children.
