Summary:
Leanne Shirtliffe recognized the constant fodder for humor while pregnant with twins in Asia's sin city, Bangkok, Thailand. She manages to keep her babies alive for a year, then she and her husband return home to North American suburbia. Shirtliffe captures the bizarre aspects of parenting, exploring the hazards of everyday life with children, such as the birthday party where neighborhood kids took home skin rashes from the second-hand face paint she applied. The time she discovered her twins carving their names into her minivan's paint with rocks. A delayed encounter with postpartum depression helps Shirtliffe to realize that even if she can't teach her kids how to tie their shoelaces, she's a good enough mom. At least good enough to start saving for her twins' college, eh, therapy fund. Shirtliffe's memoir might not replace a therapist, but it is a lot cheaper.
