Despite the somewhat foreboding title, this is a great reference book for tackling the innumerable ways children are little buttholes without also being a butthole yourself. One thing I liked about this book was that it spends at least as much time addressing ways to prevent things you’ll need to discipline as it does on how to handle the problems. Half of parenting is just mastering scheduling your life around naptime and getting good at redirecting and making smaller humans think things are their […]
Actually kind of life-changing.

I was immediately charmed by the interview, and resolved to track down the book and buy it immediately. You see, I enjoy a glass of wine, but […]
