Family & Relationships. Nonfiction. Humor (Nonfiction.) HTML:"Laugh-out-loud comments and astute remarks will help lighten any mother's load and keep things in perspective...This is a refreshing look at child rearing, written in short sections that can be read in five to ten minutes a perfect fit for a mother's schedule." –Library Journal
So you thought the difficult stage was over: the midnight feedings, the colic, the breast pumps, the endless diaper changings. Just when you thought you'd reached the blissful stretch of parenthood...here come the toddler/preschool years!
Only Sandi Kahn Shelton could deliver such a dead-on, hilarious, true-ringing look at the walking, talking, crazy years. In Preschool Confidential, she explores such universal topics as:
—Dealing with the mutiny in the checkout line (aka: begging or bribing?). —Presenting scientific proof that toddlers ask 437 questions per day. —Unveiling the four "answers" that any parent can recycle to respond to any toddler's question. —Understanding day-care romances. to ask (at the most inopportune moments). —Dissecting the anatomy of a birthday party (or how to control a group of four-year-olds without ropes or sedatives). —Cooking purple mashed potatoes, and emergency tactics to stave off a hunger strike. —And much more!
Preschool Confidential will have you howling at the apt, accurate, and painfully honest look at the preschool years!!
"The true successor to Erma Bombeck's throne."–WorkingMother magazine
"For frazzled working moms, columnist Sandi Kahn Shelton's funny essays on parenting are a fail-safe way to lighten up." –Wall Street Journal
"I'm thankful that this very funny and observant lady is not a cartoonist!" –Bil Keane, creator of "The Family Circus".

I found this book very entertaining. Don't read it for any parenting advise. Well, the best advice I got from this book is to make sure you enjoy your chidren while they are young. And laugh often. ( )

I hate to write in cliches, but I did, actually and truly, laugh out loud while I was reading this book. If you don't have a preschooler right now, pass this book by. But if you do, I say it again: I laughed--many times--out loud.
