This book would have been much funnier if I were not a nanny and had never worked as a baby-sitter for families whose children don't see their parents for days at a time. The child I care for now has loving parents, or I would not have taken the job; but two children I cared for have a father who alternated between saying to me, "I'd like you to use half that amount of reduced-fat butter in the macaroni-and-cheese so D. (who was three at the time) doesn't get heart disease" and lifting his other child up off the bed with one hand, leaving a hand-shaped bruise on his arm. Some parents should never, ever have had children, and that's not funny at all.
