We all know that Dooce is famous because she shares every aspect of her life, so there’s that. Reading this made me wish I had kept a journal when my daughter was small but I just had no time. If I had, would I share it with the world? Not on your life.

Shame that I did need a prompt. Oh, well, guess that says something about me!

Interesting perspective. I really question whether she wrote these passages when Leta was a baby. My guess is not; I just found out that it isn’t even Leta on the cover.

I’m mystified why this was published. The letters were already published for all to read for free. Why re-publish something that is personal to Leta? I don’t get the Dooce love. I read her first book and didn’t think it was well written.

I found these to be so treacly, and just not all that “beautifully written”. But then I agree with Cheryl: it’s supposed to be to your child. I didn’t really find all that common ground I might have with Heather and her letters to her child. I’d rather be remembering my own times with my own child(ren), and I don’t really need a prompt to recall those!

What I really have never understood about posting a personal letter you’ve written to your child…is why are you sharing it with the internet? It’s supposed to be TO YOUR CHILD.

I started writing a yearly letter to my son which I mail on his birthday. I will hand all of these to him someday when he is old enough to appreciate them. I would never dream of sharing my personal correspondence with my child with anyone other than my child.

I wonder how her “Dear Daughter” feels/will feel about having letters written to her available for anyone to read. This is not at all genuine mother-to-daughter love. It’s all about the almighty dollar.

And why anyone would want to read letters to a child from her mother is also beyone me.

This is such a great idea. There are so many memories and emotions that is soon forgotten. To have written down thoughts during the early years will undoubtedly be a treasure for years to come.

I couldn’t get passed the first few but I thought they were beautifully written and I wish I took the time to write letters like that to my son.
