Warning! New parents are likely to experience: Scorekeeping—An exceedingly complex, often relentless,
tit-for-tat war waged by husbands and wives over the
division of parenting responsibilities and domestic chores. The Ten O'Clock Shoulder Tap—Considered by many men to be a
form of foreplay. A paw on a wife's shoulder is how some men
indicate their desire for sex. The Tap is rarely accompanied
by a term of endearment or any other verbal form of
communication and is seldom well received by the
often-sleeping/almost-always-exhausted wife. The frustrated
husband, meanwhile, wonders if his wife has pulled a Bait
and Switch in the bedroom. Clash of the Grannies—A high stakes "who will have the
greatest influence on the grandkids" tournament played by
each set of grandparents. Competitive categories include:
the Title Championship (who gets to be called "Grandma"),
the Battle for Floor and Wall Space, the Battle for Face
Time, and Gratuitous Grandparental Gift-Giving. The Babyproofers are three women who wouldn't trade their
roles as mothers for anything, and they love their husbands
deeply. But after living through it and hearing the stories
of hundreds of other couples, they know that with young
children in the house, you need to block the stairs with
baby gates, put plastic covers over the outlets, AND take
the necessary steps to safeguard your marriage. Babyproofing Your Marriage is the warts-and-all truth about
how having children can affect your relationship. The
authors explore the transition to parenthood in light of
their own experiences, with input from their husbands and
commentary from men and women across the country. Their
evenhanded approach to both sides of the marital equation
allows spouses to understand each other in a whole new way. With loads of humor and practical advice, the Babyproofers
will guide first-time parents and veterans alike around the
rocky shores of the early parenting years. Don't fall prey
to common relationship pitfalls: Babyproof Your Marriage!
