The Blackberry Diaries: Adventures in Modern Motherhood

by Kathy Buckworth

Key Porter Books | April 2, 2009 | Trade Paperback

TODDLERS AND TECHNOLOGY--NOT SO DIFFERENT!

Owning a Blackberry smartphone is a little like adding another child to your family. The device is constantly buzzing, poking, and distracting its owner from whatever it is she''s trying to accomplish. It bears an uncanny resemblance to the uncooperative two-year-old hanging off Mom''s leg at the Motor Vehicle Office. And is that holster really any different from a Baby Bjorn? Still not convinced? Consider:

  • They both "start up" the minute you visit the washroom.
  • They both go off in the middle of the night.
  • They''re both heartier than you think, but sometimes the slightest thing can lead to a complete break down.

    I laughed out loud

    Darryl Koster

    3 years ago

    I read this book on recommendations from Twitter. Went and bought it at the local coles store at about 9PM and didn't put it down until it was done. I laughed throughout the book.

    If you are a parent (mom or dad) you will get a laugh with pretty much every page in the book. From her discussions about her 4 children and how she deals with them to the responses she has received from the public when she does (you know we have all been there if you have kids).

    Also being an active BlackBerry user her antidotes regarding daily use of a BlackBerry (or any electronic assistant) hits the nail on the head. From the looks of horror of fellow parents when you are answering an email that is very important to sitting there and feeling phantom buzzes when your BlackBerry isn't even on you.

    Definitely worth the read.
