Children want everything and they want it now. They don't care if it affects your life or adds pressure to your daily routine. Any need or dream that takes you away from them, even for a little while, is considered an enemy and must be suppressed with tears. This book deals with how to survive infants and how they develop into children. It explores strategies for parenting with less effort. You will learn how to ignore, avoid, threaten, and lie with easy chapters you can read, even while locked in the bathroom. Useful "How to Make It Look Like You're Coping" tips are included for those days when you need extra help.
