I have a feeling I know who you are talking about, but I find her posts kind of refreshing and make me feel less guilty about my own parenting frustrations. Since the FB page is free, I would just take the advice you want and ignore the advice you disagree with. Problem solved!

I've never thought that mommy bloggers or self anointed parent coaches have special expertise worthy of blind faith, so I'm curious why others do...and even more curious if you question their street cred? Even more specifically: would you expect a parent coach to have happy, well-adjusted kids? And if they don't, wouldn't that make you wonder?
