The Mother of All Meltdowns is a book which was like none other, that I have read or reviewed in the past for a few reasons. 

First, it was written by a pack of 30 Mom Bloggers like me. 

Second, I personally know a few of the writers from this group by interaction and close association in the blogosphere. No amount of words can describe the pride I feel right now for my fellow bloggers and friends who have taken their writing expeditions to the next level by being  published authors! So, let me say ‘Congratulations’ to them  first for this great achievement! You know, you guys rock! And I am so proud to know you all!

As the title of the book suggests, the subject of the hour is ‘Meltdowns’. Yes, you know  the meltdown that Mommies feel and fight as  life  (and kids) strike against them at odd hours? The stories that stretch out in The Mother of All Meltdowns pages deals with all sorts of meltdowns- minor meltdowns, major meltdowns, epic meltdowns- you get the picture. Did you know that poor Mommies come down with meltdowns when they are confronted with unwanted advice from strangers on how to raise their kids, waiting at the doctor’s office for pregnancy test results and dealing with a poop covered house on a daily basis- courtesy of a child who doesn’t really believe in diapers? The case of ‘meltdowns’ have  been dictated in Moms who accidentally flushes out their cherished and expensive wedding rings in their child’s potty  (or so they think) , and also when they have to clean up zillions of glass shreds from all over the house and lawn after their child’s ‘glass breaking experimentation’ with the broken down dryer goes wrong. The most unlikely place a Mom can have a meltdown is in Disney Land! yup! Unheard of, right? Well, that is the life of a Mom…

Meltdowns are raw, painful and happens in an instant. Meltdowns can be uncontrollable and unstoppable while you are confronted with it. It is not pretty and leave you disconcerted at the end. And yes, we as Moms go through it almost every  day….We are not going to lie, right? So it is good to know we are not alone in this sorry mess that rocks our world sometimes. There are others out there, you know? 

 The  Mamas of The Mother of All Meltdowns were kind enough to tell their meltdown stories quite elegantly and without shame. Though they were  the saddest and riotous  moments in their life, these ladies  rose from the ashes of the epic  meltdown episodes stronger than ever and lived to tell their tales… so that  the rest of the Moms around the world would know that they are not alone…  And it’s okay to have meltdowns…And meltdowns in fact makes them the perfect Moms to the’ little blessings’ in their life. 

Now, if you are so inclined, take a jab at the book and see what I am talking about. You will be so ready for your next meltdown episode, I tell ya!
