Hidden in the light-heartedness is the real message, we are all experiencing the same struggle; enjoying our children and raising them. In reading this wonderfully told and artfully crafted book I was reminded of something I told my wife over and over again as our two munchkins grew into beautiful women, "my biggest fear is that they will realize just how little control I really have over them." If you are now a parent, grandparent, or even thinking about becoming a parent, pick up a copy. It is a fun way to see what you're in for, and that you're not alone." Steven Wilkens: Author of Redemption "Parenting is no joke, but Susie Reece makes it a laughing matter in CGTP. She recounts laugh out loud moments with her 3 children as they provide the on the job training for motherhood. Her satirical view is one that gives parents a break through comic relief and gives anyone reading it, kids or no kids, a reason to laugh." Camille Solari: Actress, Comedienne
