It is ok to celebrate using how-to-parent-like-an-expert books as paperweights for your child\u2019s art collection in the recycling bin. There are more than 150 realistic and downright humorous truths about parenting Mommyfesto<\/em>, like a Band-Aid and a kiss solve most daily crises but so does talking like a pirate.
