The Parent I Want to Be

I have a book in my possession, entitled "Becoming the Parent you Want to Be".

I looked at that book tonight, glass of wine in hand, and wondered to myself...

Is there a chapter in that book that tells you how to be the parent lying on a beach somewhere being tended by cabana boys whilst sipping something fruity, while your precious little darlings are elsewhere, being cared for by someone who currently likes them better than you do?

No? Then that stupid book CLEARLY does not know the parent I want to be right now.

Is there a chapter telling you how to be the kind of parent with an intelligent dog who can watch your child while you go to the movies?

NO! See, there are entire categories they didn't even think to put in there.
