300 Questions to Ask Your Parents Before It's Too Late Kindle Edition

This book gold. If you want to spice up your quarantine video chats and feel closer to your family during the pandemic (or in general), this is the book for you. It has everything from easy and light questions to deep and philosophical questions. There are questions I wouldn’t have naturally thought to ask and my family has been delighted to reminisce about themselves. I just wish there were more lines/space for the answers. Regardless, we are buying more - 1 for each parent and grandparent because there’s stuff we want to know!

Nowhere does the promotional material, cover or description, say this was written by a religious Christian woman who works from a narrow, insular, religious worldview. Any good questions in the book are completely undermined by the othering (ie, heteronormative) and religious gotcha questions.

I love this book. It gives me ideas about what my children might be interested in knowing about me after i've passed. I am going to fill one of these out for each of my children and present them as Christmas or birthday gifts!

This is a wonderful book, with lots of good questions I probably never would have thought to ask. The only reason I rated it a 4 out of 5, is because I wished it had more room for writing out the answers. If I was just a tad bigger with more space for writing it would be a PERFECT book.

I wanted something to start recording memories since my elderly parents are now in a nursing home and I'd like to get some stuff written down. Some of the questions are good, but they are repetitive. I wish they had mixed it up a bit with some more creative questions. But there seems to be limited options for specific books like this unfortunately.

My dad really seemed to enjoy getting this - although I wish the title wasn't "before it's too late." But there are great questions.

I bought this book when my dad told me he had tumors in his bladder. My first reaction to the news was that it can't be cancer, and selfishly, if it was cancer... I'm not ready for him to leave me because 30 years with my dad isn't long enough. I thought the title of this book was so morbid/sad, but it's so true. As soon as I got the book, I flipped through the book with my husband reading the questions aloud. The majority of them I had never asked my dad before and I cannot wait to hear his answers. I haven't started the book with him, but I'm so excited to. The book leaves room for me to write his answers, but I'm going to bring extra lined paper, just in case there's not enough room. I'm happy that we will be able to keep this in the family to pass down for generations... regardless what his tumors end up being and whether he is with us for 5 more months or 15 more years.

The media could not be loaded.  Every question is a wonderful conversation starter. We have had the book for a couple of months now and are still enjoying it.

I really think this book is so sweet. Worth the buy! Good questions and even just to start conversation off. Recommend.

We wanted this for a child to remember his Dad. The questions were too heavy. It was also v American. Eg who is your favoutite USA president, what are your views on abortion, how do you feel about same sex marriage, what are your views on premarital sex, what have been the turning points in your spiritual life? In the end we used another book.

A wonderful book for helping a parent who is dying still feel they can contribute and be important, for helping bond with a parent before they pass away and for getting the answers to questions you probably would never otherwise think how to ask.

The questions are far too complex and deep, and focused on "what would you advise me to do" rather than questions about themselves. Classroom-like questions. "What was your relationship with drugs and alcohol, and how would you help me avoid them", etc. Neither my parents nor I enjoyed it.

Gave it to my mum to write down things she wants me to know and it helps her to reminisce!
