About this title

Synopsis

It’s Not Rocket Science, It’s Parenthood! is about the lengthy, tiresome, tedious, sometimes irrational, but ultimately rewarding journey we take as parents. It’s a cut-the-crap, step up to the plate, pull your head out of the sand, parenting guidebook. It is full of innovative and hilarious ideas to help you reach the goals of a happier family, happier parents, and happier kids. Well, maybe your kids won’t be happier when you prevent them from smoking by using a megaphone. They might not appreciate having you attend their high school classes with them to prevent skipping. They probably won’t like taking lessons in boredom or appreciate the art of sentence writing. It’s Not Rocket Science, It’s Parenthood! reminds us that we can be successful in our parental endeavors and that we are not alone in the asylum. It is insightful and comforting, while being laugh out loud funny.

From the Inside Flap

Do you remember how, right after you had that first baby, you would sit and stare at her, waiting for a blink? How you'd call everyone close to you, friend or family, and talk about how she was the most precious baby ever? We all have thousands of those moments: the first smile, the first word, the first step, the hugs and kisses. This book isn't about those moments.
This book is about all the other moments. The moments when your lying awake wondering where you went wrong with that precious little baby. The moments when you really start weighing the key question: set up a college fund, or place an attorney on retainer? This book is about the long, hard, exhausting journey we take as parents.
Parenting forced me to develop some very unconventional methods for coping with the long post-baby challenge of raising children. At some point, after the cute baby blinks, and before you decide to check yourself into the psych ward you have to develop some coping mechanisms. You need to cultivate your sense of humor, strap on your hip waders, and think outside the box. This book will help you do that, and don't worry: its not rocket science, it's parenthood.
