The Parenting Survival Guide. Not!

Have you ever wanted to take a parenting quiz? Or discover how NOT to make a Halloween costume? Have you ever wanted to find out the ugly reality behind a family holiday or discover how to discipline a child with the help of a very special deity?If so, this book is for you! You won't learn ANYTHING about parenting but you might laugh. And identify.... It's a selection of pieces I wrote for various newspapers chronicling my journey as a parent of two young children. Two children, who despite my hopelessness, grew up to be wonderful people.I am indebted to them for allowing me to re-publish this material again. All the proceeds of this book will go to two charities that I have a special affection for - CanTeen Ireland and The Rape Crisis Centre. CanTeen Ireland offers support to teenagers who have or have had cancer and the Rape Crisis Centre provides free counselling to survivors of sexual violence.
