Every child since the dawn of the family has crushed the hopes and dreams of their parents. It is a biological imperative that as offspring grow up, they lash out. Confusion, frustration, and rebellion are the hallmarks of early development and the actions they produce frighten and disappoint parents in ways they were never prepared for, until now.What to Expect When You’re Expecting More from Your a Parent’s Guide to Disappointment is a satirical, “self-help” non-fiction about the many ways kids can make their parents feel ashamed of them. It covers topics such as dropping out of school, promiscuity, embarrassing recorded actions, arrests for various reasons, not having a job, and many other worst-case scenarios. We dissect the reasons behind destructive behaviors from a realistic standpoint, tell the reader why there is nothing they can do about it, and offer “coping mechanisms” to help soften the blow of the inevitable let-down their child will perpetrate.Most parenting books focus on preparation and expectations for a child. There are no books that view parenting in a practical way, without all the hopes for Harvard. Finally, here is a book that prepares parents for what will happen instead of hiding from what could happen.
