Get Out of My Life: But First Can You Drive me and Cheryl to the Mall? (Abridged) Audiobook

" I may not have a teenager yet, but I will, and I'm very much afraid. I read this book in one day. I'm not sure why I liked it so much, especially when it warned me of all the frightening things I have to look forward to, but it really rang true for me. A lot of people would probably hate this book for stereotyping, but it happened to fit my son and daughter quite well. I also agreed with the section that related to school. "

" I thought it's an interesting read...If you want to understand teenagers! "

" I would recommend this book for anyone attempting to maintain sanity while raising a teenager. Spot on in terms of generational differences in expectations, especially if you are an "older" parent. "

" Great book, well paced, funny quotes, and very helpful information on talking with teenagers. This was recommended to me by two separate counselors for my two teenagers each as they entered high school. "

" This book was a great read for me! I have a 13.5 yr old son and this helped me feel like what we are going through is not unusual. The book gives great insight into the minds of teens and very useful strategies for dealing with this roller coaster ride of parenting teens! "

" Humorous, insightful, helpful but a little dated. If written today there would be more neuroscience and brain development discussion. Best part of my copy was marginalia and underlined phrases by previous readers. E.g. "Lectures do very little," "Parents must not allow themselves to get sucked into ongoing battles." "

" So I didn't finish this book because I wasn't in the mood. I will have to say that this is one of the best, not not the BEST title ever! What I did read was well written and reasonable. "

" Extremely helpful when raising teenagers! "

" Perfect! When I finish this I'll know alllll about raising a pre-teen daughter and son! I think it should come with a subscription to the Wine of the Month club or something equally helpful. "

" An absolute MUST READ for anyone that has or is about to have a child reaching adolescence, in fact the sooner the better! Get on this one! "

" Haven't gotten very far-- but so far the book looks good and right on target for understanding today's teens. "

" I found this remarkably helpful, even though i mostly still have tweens. i like the approach that you can't change the kids, only encourage them to change, change the way you deal with them. very well written and readable, too. "

" A must read for all parents, especially pre teens and teens! "

" quick, easy read. Great book on dealing with adolescents ...their thought processes, actions & how to relate. Be sure to read BEFORE they hit the pre-teen years! "

" First parenting book I have actually almost read cover to cover. Mostly, I pick and choose chapters and chunks from parenting books. Mostly doesn't give advice helps you better remember and understand that teenage mind so you can come to your own conclusions. "

" I really enjoyed this...gave god insight on teenagers and how to handle certain situations. Lots of good examples and references to what kids say and do... "

" MUST READ if you have teenagers!!! "

" Very helpful but didn't really provide any solutions other than to tel me that what my kids are doing is normal and I just have to deal with it. But it has definitely helped me re-frame my expectations for the teen years. "

" The BEST parenting book for those with teens! "

" interesting ideas, but very outdated! "

" Good story for parents of teenagers, realize you are not alone with what is going on...book falls apart at the end but still worth the read. "

" I very much recommend this book for any parents of teenage girls! Parts made me laugh out loud, but also helped me gave me a new understanding of the angst of adolescence and this phase. "

" The title says it all! "

" Fantastic look at adolescence and how the parents' perspective differs from that of the adolescent's. An extremely easy and fun read. Great for parents and therapists alike. "

" some good advice so that I survived the thirteenth year. also put on your list .... uncommon sense for parents with teenagers. "

" Excellent resource in dealing with teens. I highly recommend this to parents of teens (especially girl teens) "

" An excellent explanation as to why teenagers act the way they do. I found the girls' explanation close to my experience, so I trust the author's word on the boys'. But I could have done without all the curse words. Yeah, many teenagers talk like that, but how much do I need to read it? "

" Excellent resource in dealing with teens. I highly recommend this to parents of teens (especially girl teens) "

" Not great, not terrible. Over-generalized way too much (as well as stating really low expectations for kids' behaviour), but there were a few good points. The discussion it led to in book group, however, was stellar. "

" some good advice so that I survived the thirteenth year. also put on your list .... uncommon sense for parents with teenagers. "

" Another great book for living with a teen and not loosing your shit ! Recommended to me by Michelle Reed "

" As a single dad I found some parts helpful while raising my daughter. "

" One of the best parenting books I've read. Clear, concise and makes sense. "

" Learned a lot from this book! A must for anyone with a teenager. "

" The BEST parenting book for those with teens! "

" Loving this book so far! Very helpful!!! "

" While much of the content on adolescent development wasn't new, this author puts it all together in a a fresh and accessible manner. It's a great resource during the push and pull of a teenager's struggle for independence. "

" So good to know that other parents feel similar frustrations. Plus, its hysterical!! "
