The Gay Uncle's Guide to Parenting

Filed under: Relatives, That's Entertainment, Books for Kids

We parents can sometimes be a little sensitive about taking parenting advice from non-breeders. What do they know, after all? They haven't had to deal with insanity-inducing amounts of sleep deprivation, the irrationality of nap protests, or the constant demands of "Look at meeeeee!" No one can understand until they've done it.

Or can they? Couples take marriage advice from celibate priests, so why not consider parenting advice from a self-proclaimed gay uncle?

Brett Berk, author of the new book, The Gay Uncle's Guide to Parenting, is a former childcare teacher and preschool director with a Master's degree in Education. His book promises practical, humorous advice for parents, with chapter titles that include "I Want to Eat It: Toilet Training" and "Sinking the Stockholm Syndrome: Going Out."

I'm imagining it's like Queer Eye meets SuperNanny and they chat it up over delicious martinis.
