Confessions of a Paris Potty Trainer (American in Paris) Review: Parenting in Paris - I read her previous book, Confessions of A Paris Party Girl, and that was fun, but her second book is better. At least I related to it more. Her first book told the story of a party girl moving to France and ended with her marriage to a Frenchman. This book began with her pregnancy. I love the insights into the different ways the French handle things, like finding an apartment and going to doctor visits, not to mention the difference between giving birth in the U.S. and in France. "By the time I announced the pregnancy to my boss, I had been employed at my French company about a year. I hadn't quite gotten used to the lax French working style and the fact that they only actually work about half the year, once you factor in national holidays, a minimum of five weeks' vacation, and coffee breaks. "So I was shocked to learn I would be getting sixteen weeks of maternity leave. what would I do with all the time? Sure, take care of my baby. But as someone who has worked every day of her life since age 14, the prospect of four months sans travail was hard to imagine." Getting the baby a passport, finding the baby a school, trying to re-establish her party life with her friends, I relished the journey with Vicki. It was one of those books that I had a hard time putting down. Luckily, I had it on my Kindle, so I could pick it up anytime I had a few spare minutes and finished it in just a few days. Review: Funny memoir with a misleading title - I bought this book with just a quick perusal because I am currently working on potty training my first child. It is a funny memoir (echoing the experiences of many other American writers) that delves into the quirks of the French, but there is no mention of the French take on potty training, professional or otherwise, in the book. A fun read, but ultimately not what I was looking for. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #2,487,687 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #1,480 in Parenting & Families Humor #2,258 in French Travel Guides #2,534 in Humor Essays (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.2 4.2 out of 5 stars (188) | | Dimensions | 5.25 x 0.69 x 8 inches | | ISBN-10 | 1499276532 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1499276534 | | Item Weight | 11.2 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | American in Paris | | Print length | 274 pages | | Publication date | May 24, 2014 | | Publisher | CreateSpace Independent Publishing Platform | ## Images ![Confessions of a Paris Potty Trainer (American in Paris) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71l1LFnXonL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Parenting in Paris *by P***A on June 30, 2014* I read her previous book, Confessions of A Paris Party Girl, and that was fun, but her second book is better.

It is a funny memoir (echoing the experiences of many other American writers) that delves into the quirks of the French, but there is no mention of the French take on potty training, professional or otherwise, in the book. A fun read, but ultimately not what I was looking for. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ another enjoyable book about the life of a young ex-pat in Paris *by M***9 on July 6, 2014* Vicki has a wonderfully dry sense of humor and wit in her writing that I really enjoy! She has an ability to create a scene that makes you feel like you were an observer, chuckling at the same time at the humor in the situation or touched by the emotion present. I read her previous book, and along with this one they focus on her life moving to Paris and (in this latter book) beginning her family. Lets face it, a big reason to read books set overseas instead of in (say) Los Angeles is that one wants to get a flavor of what it is like to pick everything up and move overseas. This book has a fair amount of stories about her encounters with the French bureaucracy, medical system, and just fellow Parisians. At times I felt the content focused more on her life, as opposed to her life in France, which to me detracted a bit from the reason I chose this book. But there are plenty of stories about her life abroad, delightfully told. I hope there are plans for more books in the pipeline! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/13510632-confessions-of-a-paris-potty-trainer-american-in-paris](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/13510632-confessions-of-a-paris-potty-trainer-american-in-paris) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-10*
