Are you tired of reading parenting books filled with psychological reasoning and the standard tricks of the trade? This is the book for you!
Tim Bete has a great sense of humor and much of his advice is tongue-in-cheek, but it will make you laugh. And a lot of it makes sense (although you may wish to alter some of the punishments...)
How many books offer you directions to convert your minivan into a pirate schooner?
Do you know how to get a giant octopus out of your child's hair? How about chewing gum?
You'd also best adjust to reading about salted cod in your diet.
And he offers poetry that would work great for reciting on Talk Like a Pirate Day, too. (That's September 19th if you haven't realized it yet.)
This book was chosen as a Humor Book of the Year by ForeWord Magazine.
Grinning and laughing is good for you - especially when parenting!
