Why Did Nobody Tell Me?

WHY DID NOBODY TELL ME...that the gurus don`t always know best ...that you don`t have to `get your figure back` six weeks after birth ...that you don`t need to worry about the other parents at the school gates ...that it`s okay to let them eat dirt ...that you don`t have to have a naughty step And most importantly ...that you should never buy a guinea pig? Drawn from the message boards of mumsnet.com and based on the assumption that if thousands of parents have found a piece of advice to be helpful then you can be pretty sure it`s worth knowing, this book shapes that collective wisdom into dozens of dos and don`ts that will lead you through the minefield that is twenty-first-century parenting.
