Minimalist Parenting: Enjoy Modern Family Life More by Doing Less by Christine K. Koh, Asha Dornfest
2.0
Yeah, this is not minimalist parenting at all in my book.
My first problem with it was that their parenting style is not minimalist AT ALL: the authors feel very much part of hustle culture and I feel stressed just reading about it. We as a family definitely live by 'doing less to enjoy more' but the lifestyle discibed in this book is A LOT and doesn't feel like 'doing less to enjoy more' at all.
My second problem with the book is that it covers a lot that really felt outside of the scope of what the book was supposedly about. We got tips on kids drop off and pick up at school, socialising with other parents, volunteering, making money, financial plans, etc...
It felt more like bragging about how they juggle everything than a 'how to' into minimalist parenting.
