What does a very bad day cost you? The concept of the school in this book makes me want to scream- cry- throw up. Brutally written. Very good, but can't recommend it. Commentary on sexism and double standards in parenting. The fact that perfect is never good enough. The whole book made me mad and sad. I cried at the end. What would you do to be with your child?
