Perhaps a little bit prematurely I've been dipping in and out of this book lately. Before you all get excited we are not having children yet as they would probably appreciate a bedroom. Getting onto the proprty ladder is our first priority.The Rules are in 100 bitesize chunks in 10 chapters covering staying sane, attitude, discipline, personality, siblings etc. It's been interesting for me reading it because it's enabled me to put my finger on things that weren't right during my childhood and it's helping me discover why and what would have worked better. Beyond that it's really helping me take in what an awesome responsibility being a parent is.
I highly recommend it whether you're a parent, thinking about it or you have children who have moved away - it even has a section on dealing with grown-up children! It will probably stay on my bookshelf for years and years.
