Watching Lucy and Tom take the gloves off and bicker with one another from a place of love and respect is not only endearing, but HILARIOUS. Every fight or disagreement in this book is something that my wife and I have locked horns on more than once!

Finally, Tommy and Lucy Riles, have come up with the definitive rule book concerning parenting. This unintentional sequel to the groundbreaking book, The Joy of Sex could easily have been called, The Misery of Kids. In this comprehensive and hilarious contest for the title of "head of the household", they lay out the terms for the ultimate battle of Mom vs. Dad. And although I'm still pretty sure I'm going to lose most, if not every argument with my wife, at least now I know why. This should be required reading for any couple who are thinking about having kids.Jamie Kaler, Actor, Comic, and Creator of The DadLands,
