I can understand books about things that happen in children’s lives…the growing up, the changing bodies, their brother or sister not coming from Mommy but from another country, Grandma or the dog going to “a better place.” But this, I cannot understand.

“Honey, when you were born, you made Mommy fat. And now she has to have that fixed.”
Welcome to My Beautiful Mommy

WTF?!
Written by a Florida plastic surgeon, this book was intended to help moms explain to their children why they are bandaged, bruised, grumpy, and unable to…well…be Mommy for a couple of days following their surgery. While the author claims that he is not trying to glorify plastic surgery, the picture on the cover seems to differ. Additionally, through explaining that “When I got older, my tummy stretched, and I couldn’t fit into my clothes anymore, but Dr. Michael is going to make me feel better,” we MAY not be teaching our kids to do things like…not eat junk, exercise, not spend thousands of dollars because Grandpa’s nose just didn’t look that good on me.
Again, WTF?
