i read this as a kid and loved it just as much now. She always touched me. I read most of her books at one point or another.

Lighthearted, humorous, and with some nuggets of wisdom. Exactly the sort of book I was needing to read.

I read this book to fulfill the goal "read a funny book" I had read it before a couple of years ago. It wasn't as funny the second time around. Still, It did make me laugh out loud a couple of times, and smile in several other places. I would like to read a different book by her.

I feel At Wit's End very often. Erma Bombeck and her thoughts on the housewife job. Now my book was published in the late 1960's, before I was born. I enjoyed reading this book and remembering some of the things my mother would say.

Erma writes about what most women think when they are married and have children. I enjoyed the laughs while I read and also remembering my mother.

Read this in remembrance of my grandma, the best woman I’ve ever known, and a huge Erma Bombeck fan. I wish I had remembered how much she liked this author and read her works earlier so Grandma and I could have talked about it. It was fun to read though and get a glimpse at what motherhood was like in the 60’s. There were some very funny, astute lines and I appreciated Bombeck’s perspective and sense of humor.
