Sippy Cups Are Not for Chardonnay
That’s the title of a hilarious new book on parenting by Stefanie Wilder-Taylor. Well, duh. Of course they’re not. They’re for Viognier.
This book is laugh-out-loud funny. Seriously, I was snorting and giggling in the middle of Borders. It debunks a lot of parenting myths and is a voice of sanity in the mayhem of new motherhood. I don’t agree with every single thing she says in this book—can you ever say that about any book anyway? But she earns my endorsement by basically making fun of all the rigid, judgmental and uber-competitive parenting tics that she can think of. In a really, really funny way. And did I mention it’s funny, too?
