Publisher's Synopsis
"Slightly sarcastic, absolutely on the mark and really, really funny!" - Bill Lindsay, Editor in Chief, Dominion Parenting Media/Parenthood.com
"The way I see it, my job as a parent is to put myself out of business. So far, my employment seems secure."
Carol Band reports from the frontlines of suburbia. A chronicler of chaos, Carol tramples on the sacred ground of parenthood-from muddy soccer fields to the far-fetched notion of sex after childbirth.
Taken from the best of her popular column, "A Household Word," this book is required reading for anyone who is a parent, who is thinking about becoming a parent or who has parents. Carol's smart and slightly sarcastic point of view documents family life as it really is-only funnier. Find out why there's a hamster in the freezer, how to identify aliens and what's been making thousands of readers across the country laugh out loud.
