This is not how I would imagine parenting to be. This is not what I would like to think parenting actually is. The stories were well-written enough, at least as much as one could expect from people who are obviously not writers by nature, but the stories they have to tell did not amuse me or wow me. Instead, I was left depressed and fearful about the current and next generation of children and parents. Oh, how I wish this book was fiction, the creation of a fertile mind rather than a series of fertile bodies.
