Harriet Klausner's Review Archive
No longer the star as she was in KNOCKED UP: CONFESSIONS OF A HIP MOTHER-TO-BE (not reviewed), Rebecca Eckler continues her diary entry muses; this time as the Dictator", Sir Rowen of 24/7 bodily secretions. Ms. Eckler quickly leans to sleep while changing diapers or during feeding time. She Forgets how she once looked with a good night sleep as the author avoids mirrors at all costs as she looks worse than her worst four poster hangover and of course pre Rowan clothing no longer fits. Perhaps the only one appreciating the arrival of the totalitarian Great Dictator is his maternal grandmother who enjoys the sweet revenge of watching her offspring suffer the way she once did. Profanity included (who can watch one's language on a few hours of sleep), this lighthearted and irreverent Wiped is an enjoyable diary especially for moms being mentored by a first child and to a lesser degree dads on the pitfalls of raising a tyrant who also serves as the perfect necker-checker chaperone.
