About this ebook
New parents are hipper, more educated, and more sophisticated than ever, but they're also highly competitive--a lethal combination when turbocharged by the anxieties of raising a baby. And for many couples, it's not just any baby, but the perfect baby. These “excessively motivated” parents will not sabotage Junior's future by denying him Mandarin lessons, a nursery chandelier (just like the one Gwyneth's kids enjoy), or advanced infant yoga. A hilarious, highly visual satire of childrearing manuals, The Perfect Baby Handbook provides much-needed comic relief from the pressures of modern parenting, and gives comfort to moms and dads who can say with a sigh of relief, “At least, we're not this bad.”

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5So, you're going to have a baby. There are roughly 7.2 billion books on parenting out there. But you don't want to raise just any old kid. You want your child to be special, and hopefully rich, or at least doing something interesting, so when you and your friends are sitting around having Irish coffees, you can totally one-up Susie Bjargorskin's daughter whose a respected cryptozoologist and gold-winning figure skater.It's been years since Dr. Spock wrote his infamous book on child rearing. But unless you're a die-hard fan of the retro, you wouldn't make your kid wear clothes from the 1940s, would you? So why apply baby and child care tactics from before we had cable TV and BASE jumping to your precious miracle?There's a solution, and it's modern! It's The Perfect Baby Handbook, whose contents will certainly make your miracle into a very interesting member of society. Results, of course, will vary.If you can't tell by now, this book is actually a work of humor parodying and satirizing modern-day child rearing tactics. Hrabi, the author of this clever tome, has the kind of merciless wit that will wait and hide in the shadows, only to spring out when you're least suspecting it and sucker punch you in the funny bone.This book will definitely tickle the parent-to-be, the parent, and the empty-nester, and anybody else who has had to raise a child into a majestic, glorious superstar. It will even appeal to people without children, provided that they like to chuckle at the type of parent parodied in this book, using laughter to cover up the fact that the child is already more successful than they are... But if you fall into any of the categories above, chances are, you'll love every bit of of the Perfect Baby Handbook.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5I had to stop reading after a few pages because I was laughing so hard, I was afraid the neighbors would complain. I live on a 58 acre farm, and the house is a full five minute drive from the road, so that should explain how much I love Dale Hrabi's humor.I will add more later -- back to my reading!!!!!
