Title: Cynical Look at Parenting
Review: Played as a humorous book on parenting in the press reviews I read, I was disappointed that "Slacker" lacks any traditional humor. It is a cynical look at everything that is wrong with parenting guideance and marketing aimed at parents today. Her attitude seems to be that children should only get the bare minimum in terms of attention, praise, and support.Some of her points are valid, such as the alternatives to giving into every toy whim in "Toys Aren't Us", but I found it most hypocritical for someone raising her children via a nanny to be giving advice on parenting. I am suprised with her don't-child-proof-life attitude that she did not just leave them home alone to fend for themselves!For real humor regarding parenting, borrow your mom's old copies of Erma Bombeck's works!
