Parenting: the most difficult, rewarding, unpleasant, wonderful, infuriating, fantastic job of all! Sharlene Stoneman is a parent to four beloved offspring, each of whom has driven her mad in their own spectacular fashion.This book explains and sympathises, argues and discusses all of Those Issues, from the first word to the first boy/girlfriend, the fact that it's all your fault and the oft-expressed shame and embarrassment kids suffer due to having parents. Sharlene's particular parental point of view is often hilarious and sums up beautifully the problems and joys that arise from producing and creating an entire human being. Then another.Each and every parent (and quite a lot of the kids!) will find themselves laughing or crying in agreement. If you're not yet a parent, take note! This book serves as due warning before you embark on that incredible journey.
