Items related to The Aargh to Zzzz of Parenting: An Alternative Guide
A must-have for all new parents—a gritty, laugh-out-loud book about the darker moments of "imperfect" parenthood A is for Anxiety, Alcohol, and Awful Activities. B is for Bedtime, Baking, and Boredom. C is for Childcare and Cooking with your Coat on. N is for Not Swearing (frustrating) and S is for Soft Play Places, Sniffing Babies' Asses (to see if they've filled their diapers) and Sex (see also L, for Lack thereof). This guide merrily gives a middle finger to the pervasive notion that parenthood is an eternally rewarding experience. Taking a wry, down-to-earth, and humorous look at life with young children, it taps into the very normal, but hard-to-admit ambivalence that so many parents feel about raising kids. Darkly funny and occasionally shocking, Joanna Simmons and Jay Curtis' brilliantly alternative A–Z of parenting is essential reading for all moms and dads who really, really love their kids, but . . .

Brutally honest" * Chester Evening Leader * "I love this book! At last someone has finally written what every parent is feeling within - both the highs and the lows" * Amazon 5 star customer review *
