This Job Would Be Great If It Wasn't For The Parents!!!

I just bought this, can't wait to read it. Right now dealing with parents is what is frustrating me the most, I am wondering how long I can keep this up without having health problems from all the stress.

Thank you SO much. I know it will help. I would love ANY feedback you can give... whether good or bad... I want to hear it.

One of the unexpected things that have happened over the last five days since we published is hearing from providers who were daycare parents before starting daycare. They are able to see themselves as a parent and two have told me they are writing a letter to their former provider to tell them they are sorry and thank them.

That does an ole fat girls heart good... lovethis

I brought it with my husband’s help on my son’s iPad. :: I play digital dumb.

It is finished. It was an easy, humorous and really great read. I fell asleep on the Pig Pen Parent.

Bathe your child.
He/she is dirty, no clean = no stay.

Awesome! I recently got rid of my smart phone so no e-books for me. Can't wait for the hardcover!

You can read any e-book with out a Kindle or Nook.

Here is the app you can download onto your PC or smart phone so you can read the book without having an e-reader (such as Nook or Kindle)

Hi,
Congrats on your book. I don't have a Kindle. Once I buy it will I be able to print?

You would think an "author" would know correct grammar.

This job would be great if it WEREN'T for the parents.

WRONG. Resident grammar Nazi right here. The word "wasn't" is singular (was not) and refers back to the word "job", also singular. You'd think someone who was going to call someone out on their grammar would be sure that they knew what they were talking about first.

We struggled with that because I thought it was "weren't" also. Can you explain why you think it is "weren't"?

I would think "weren't" would be the correct form to use. I was taught to use 'were' when using the word if, if the sentence expresses something that doesn't exist.

Ex. If I were a princess, ...

So, I think the title of the book is expressing a wish that doesn't exist. Unfortunately, the parents still exist ::

I don't always use it that way anymore since most people don't. Using were after an if sounds odd. I think your title is fine.

I started questioning myself after I posted, so I looked it up. Both are correct actually. But "wasn't" is the more commonly preferred word.

Actually.... This sentence has two subjects and two verbs...

Job... Would


And


It wasn't (was not)

My opinion is that if acts as a connector word like and and but thus making the sentence have two separate subject and verbs.

You wouldn't say it were not... It has to be it was not... Making it WASNT
