Review:

Don't Call Me Mom offers expert advice on how to handle all the sticky, touchy, and often confrontational situations that arise between in-laws. Readers are guided through a maze of inevitables: the first family meeting, planning the wedding, deciding what to call the in-laws, and even dealing with ex-in-laws. Don't Call Me Mom is a unique primer on in-law relationships. It is "must reading for couples planning to get engaged or married; newlyweds seeking a lifetime of happiness; married, divorced or re-married couples; parents, grandparents and siblings. Don't Call Me Mom will be of immense help in getting the people you love to love each other (or at least not hate one another) and to handle the in-laws who dislike you. Don't Call Me Mom is a much need "how-to" guide in this age of single parents, second marriages, reunited couples, mixed marriages, and the merging of step-children.
