false 2422 1 Parents were here first! How did the kids suddenly take control? Sure the world has changed from the days when children were supposed to be seen and not heard but things have gotten a little out of hand. What about some quality time for the grownups? Author Christie Mellor's hilarious, personal, refreshing, and actually quite useful advice delightfully rights the balance between parent and child. In dozens of short, wickedly funny chapters, she skewers today's parental absurdities and reminds us how to make child-rearing a kick. With recipes, helpful hints, and illustrations, this high-spirited book is the only book parents will really need and enjoy. 6413 1 3 2004 The Three-Martini Playdate: A Practical Guide to Happy Parenting total:297|5:74|4:123|3:72|2:22|1:6| 297 1128 429 108 4 3 false false Mon Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 16 08:58:42 -0700 2007 Tue Oct 16 09:21:03 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 3 false false Sun Apr 01 00:00:00 -0700 2007 Sun Apr 15 15:51:41 -0700 2007 Sun Apr 15 15:59:08 -0700 2007 more...]]> 4 1 false false Tue Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 11:21:11 -0800 2008 Thu Jan 31 11:26:42 -0800 2008 more...]]> 4 1 false false Mon Dec 15 06:26:20 -0800 2008 Mon Dec 15 06:27:50 -0800 2008 5 1 false false Thu Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2004 Thu May 01 12:08:30 -0700 2008 Thu May 01 12:11:02 -0700 2008 2 0 false false Fri Jan 02 21:39:27 -0800 2009 Fri Jan 02 21:45:00 -0800 2009 more...]]> 3 0 false false Mon Dec 01 00:00:00 -0800 2008 Fri Feb 06 12:35:01 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 06 12:42:59 -0800 2009 Hey Kids!
