Parenting is not for wimps.

In fact, it's a miracle that anyone can raise a kid and stay sane at the same time. And every parent knows that sometimes you just have to wing it.

Dave Meurer says he's no parenting professional. But he is the father of two rambunctious boys. In this delightful read, you'll find helpful tips, hilarious observations, and profound reflections on bringing up boys--not to mention accounts of inane outbursts, incredulous questions, and stunned exclamations.

With unique insight and loads of fun, Meurer shares those things that drive parents crazy--and the things that make the adventure well worth the ride.


Dave Meurer is the father of two sons and the author of several books, including The Hair-Raising Joys of Raising Boys. He lives in northern California.
