Product Description
Rebecca Eckler shows women everywhere that while they're busy offering not-so-casual advice and reprimands to the men in their life, they've lost sight of an important fact: they're not dating a boyfriend, they're raising a boyfriend.
He wandered away from the checkout, leaving her to cope with an overflowing shopping car. He dashed in front of her to cross a busy intersection without so much as a backwards glance. He forgot — forgot! — to meet her at the airport after a trip. And then an inescapable truth settled in: Rebecca Eckler already had a six-year-old daughter, so what was she doing with a boyfriend who was even worse behaved? There were only two options. Dump the sucker and concentrate on raising her child. Or raise her boyfriend, too.
From making introductions, to offering compliments, to saying you're sorry, boyfriends need to be raised with the same lessons we use on our kids. As Rebecca writes, "If I can raise a child — a smart, kind and polite one — surely I can raise a boyfriend, too."

Another Man hater with nothing new to say,
By
This review is from: How to Raise a Boyfriend (Paperback)
I will never understand a women's need to change her man. To try and fix their partner to what they think they should be. Changing men's bad behavior starts at good mothers and fathers, not a girlfriend who thinks you have bad manners and thinks she can change you for the better. The author also comes from a single mother background and has no success at what she preaches. I seen her interviewed lately where she said "O I'm not a man hater.......but", and also claimed she wished her boyfriend were more like her daughter. This author brings absolutely nothing new to the table. Move on to another book worth while.

fail.,

This review is from: How to Raise a Boyfriend (Paperback)
Seriously, this book is not even worth the paper it's printed on. I weep for the trees that were chopped down to be cursed with the print of this book on their surface. The recycle bin is their only hope of redemption now.
