How Not to Hate Your Husband After Kids Hardcover – March 21, 2017

This book is full of little gems of advice and insight. From division of labor in the home, raising the kids, organization, money, to sex. I found many of the author's stories relatable and humorous. I think the book, at best, gave me useful strategies I can implement in my own life, and at least, gave me validation that I'm not alone in these struggles. That other good men, good husbands out there still bring these frustrations to their marriages.I think the women who read this book and are left feeling even angrier probably have other underlying problems. Yes, the book does put the bulk of the work needed to make changes on the woman herself, which feels defeating and infuriating. But unless divorce is something you'd seriously consider, what alternative is there? It's hard to carry the burden of having to be the one to "fix" things, be the bigger person in general, and love your husband enough to take that on in spite of all your frustrations. The ones that led to the need for someone to even write this book. But I think she modeled that wonderfully and guess what... it worked for her. Her marriage, her home life, and her job as a parent are all better off. That's worth it.The book helped me understand myself, my husband, and certain dynamics of our marriage and home life. I'd recommend it to any couple about to have a baby or already struggling. Kids change your relationship in so many unpredictable ways. This book helped put it all into perspective and helped me feel more positive overall.

This book is a fun, incredibly well researched look at what drives our relationship problems, and provides a wealth of information on some possible solutions.This book showed up after looking through some books on parenting, and I was hooked by the title so I bought it for myself. I didn't know exactly what to expect, but our relationship was summed up pretty neatly right there on the front page.Folks, I could not put this book down for the life of me. My wife and I are going through a rough patch right now, and I saw a lot of our issues reflected back at me in here. There were some parts that really hurt to read, but sometimes I need to hear the hard truths. There were also many moments of "hey, that thing she said good husbands do, I do that!"If you want a good book on relationships with some good parenting advice along the way, this is one for the ages.

I've recommended this book to every parent I know. I don't love the title because I don't hate or even dislike my husband, so that was a bit of a turn off, but whatever, it's trying to be funny. There's some great take-aways, and I like the research stuck into every point she makes. It's a liiiiiiiiitle man-bashing, which again, I don't care for, but she's honest about generalizing things. Overall, it gives great advice and brings up really great points to both ask your partner about, and check yourself on. It's also clear that if focuses on heterosexual couples, so know that going in.

I laughed, a lot! I cried some. And took away so many great lessons from this book! My boyfriend and I do not have children yet, and I’m so happy we already do so many crucial things to keep our connection alive! However, no couple is perfect, and this book can help any couple TREMENDOUSLY! I wish there was an equally well-written book for men (by a man) however there is not so my boyfriend has pledged to read this one after me. How great is that?! Get and stay involved in your relationship and as parents, it will do so much good for your entire family. Cheers!!

I felt like I was talking to one of my girlfriends as I was reading this book. It shares a lot of data and research and was just a nice easy read.

I would recommend this book to anyone!

I like this style of book (self-help as narrated through someone's first-hand experiences) and thought the information in it was really good. That being said, I'm knocking off 2 stars because Jancee Dunn consistently references "research" but does not consistently cite her sources. If she quotes someone from an interview, she's good about giving their name, but there are lots and lots of references to studies and research and there's absolutely no way of knowing which study she's referring to. A lot of what she quotes sounds very interesting and I'd love to read the full study but I can't. In my opinion, it's unacceptable for someone to make money off of the hard work of hundreds of researchers and academics throughout the world and not give credit where credit is due.Overall, I thought this book contains very useful information and am glad I read it, but wish Dunn had credited the people she relied upon to build her case.

Honestly, the title made me chuckle when it popped up on my recommended for you list. It threw me off but I was curious so I read the summary to see if it was something I could actually read. To my amusement, I clicked purchase and began to understand the click-bait title.PLEASE ready this book, it opened my eyes for ways to accomplish a happy and healthy marriage post children. The data collected during research and studies provided in this book helped me understand the facts and implement some things into my everyday life. I’ll for sure be recommending this to all of my friends.
