This humor book is a collection of hilarious essays on parenting in the era of Facebook and texting. If you're a parent - or just thinking about making arguably the biggest mistake of your life by starting a family - then YOU'RE GROUNDED FOR LIFE may make you a better parent. Probably not. In fact, I'm laying 10-to-1 odds it won't. But you never know. Whether you're the parent of a toddler, a middle schooler or a college sophomore, you'll find innovative parenting strategies the author has tried - all with hilariously disastrous results. If you're looking for a humor book that looks at the funny side of trying to parent children intent on driving you insane, you've found it. As the father of high-spirited, rambunctious daughters, Tim Jones, author of the popular humor blog View From The Bleachers, playfully shares pearls of parenting wisdom honed from futilely trying to understand the mysterious minds of kids. If you happen to have figured it out, could you give him a call? He'd really appreciate it.
Autorenporträt
As a young boy, Tim Jones' love of cricket was developed in the face of adversity. Confined to a wheelchair for long periods as a result of numerous operations to correct clubbed feet, his father - struggling to fill the time - taught him how to catch and throw. Once mobility improved, the natural progression was to batting and bowling, where the style of his hero, Glenn Turner, was copied for hours on end in the family's back garden.It was Turner's exploits in completing the coveted 1,000 runs before the end of May in 1973 which persuaded Tim's father to take him to New Road, Worcester, to see the great man play. The die was cast and a lifelong passion for Worcestershire cricket was ignited. Possessing a photographic memory for faces, details and records, Tim's first work, the biography of Worcestershire's inspirational Leader of Champions and Champion of Leaders, Don Kenyon was published in 2015 and his second book, The 52 - Worcestershire's Forgotten First-Class Cricketers, was published in 2021.
