i found these tips on parenting to be quite accurate and useful. none of those touchy-feely, dr. spock, i’m okay-you’re okay affirmations here though. no, this is the real deal. for instance, on feeding:

11. Hollow out a melon. Make a small hole in the side. Suspend it from the ceiling and swing it from side to side. Now get a bowl of soggy Cheerios and attempt to spoon them into the swaying melon by pretending to be an airplane. Continue until half the Cheerios are gone. Tip the rest into your lap, making sure a lot of it falls on the floor. You are now ready to feed a 12-month-old baby.

brilliant! you can rest assured that the author most certainly has had children. or at the very least a very unhealthy relationship with fruit.

    A trip down memory lane. Do you know if anyone has written on ‘the joys of a 16 year olds bedroom’ yet?

    no, probably because they’re all so busy trying to find their way out of their 16 year old’s bedroom. once you get in, it’s quite tricky getting back out again.
