At last, here’s a confronting yet humorous look at Mom stereotypes. Think you’re not a cliché? Think again! The Mommy Mafia is a walk-through guide to every conceivable Mom type, with each parenting style brutally revealed. Author LJ Charleston has created The Mommy Mafia as a primer to personality profiling for Moms. We all know a Boot Camp Mom, but recognizing you are one is part of the fun of taking a light look at the toughest job in the world – being a Mom.
Olympic, Germ Phobic, Chardonnay, Runaway, Lazy, Wikipedia, or Afraid of the Sun Mom—which mother are you?
The Mommy Mafia will make you:
1. laugh and enjoy
2. gain fresh understanding
3. change your perspective of other mothers
4. make changes in your own mothering
Because The Mommy Mafia will:
1. poke fun at the mothering types
2. educate women about the different mothering types
3. reveal some of the reasons behind mothers’ behavior
4. allow mothers to recognize their own traits—good and bad—and perhaps set about “fixing” negative behavior

Notă biografică
LJ Charleston is an award-winning Australian journalist and writer. A former news anchor, newspaper columnist, radio presenter, and mother of three boys, she’s the author of the popular blog The Mommy Mafia (www.themommymafiabook.blogspot.com) the novel Light Sweet Crude, picture book I Will Love You Until and true crime book Crazy Lady Criminals. Her short stories have been published in several anthologies including Some Girls Do…My Life as a Teenager, Your Mother Would Be Proud, What Is Mother Love? and What I Wish I Knew About Motherhood. LJ completed her Master of Arts thesis just five days before giving birth to her twins. She’s also been a catwalk model, a radio show host, and a TV reporter whose specialty in Hong Kong was reporting live from the scene of typhoons – but none of this prepared her for the onslaught of motherhood.
Descriere
The Mommy Mafia is the Urban Dictionary of Mothers – think of it as Mommy profiling. The politics of motherhood is complicated, yet also highly amusing. If motherhood is akin to the Mafia, which “family” do you belong to? Are you the Olympic Mom (“Your kid isn’t walking yet? Wow, he’s so slow! My Thomas walked at nine months!”), so competitive she grills other Moms as to the duration of her labor or her child’s milestones? Or are you the ER Mom, who takes her offspring to the hospital at the first sign of a sniffle? Maybe you’re Organic Mom (“Don’t you realize cow’s milk is filled with cancer-causing chemicals?”) or Horny Mom (“Isn’t motherhood the best time to start sleeping around?”) or Boot Camp Mom, who runs her kids’ lives to a strict routine. The Mommy Mafia features more than seventy types of Moms, and whether you are one of these Moms, are related to one, or are friends with one…it’s time mothers laughed at themselves!
