| Abstract
|
:
|
"Being a new parent has never been hipper. We can't seem to get enough of Angelina, Gwen, Gwyneth, Halle, Salma, and even Britney. New parents are more glamorous, more educated, more prosperous, and better dressed than ever. However, this bracket can also be highly competitive, status-obsessed, and cutthroat consumers--a lethal combination when turbocharged by the anxieties of raising a baby. And for many, it's not just any baby, but the perfect baby. They will not sabotage Jr.'s future by denying him a nursery chandelier, Louis Vuitton nappy paraphernalia, or infant yoga. The Perfect Baby Handbook satirizes these 'excessively motivated' parents in a visual and sophisticated approach that they will actually appreciate. It will provide badly needed comic relief from the pressures of being a new parent today, and give comfort to many who, if they can't laugh at themselves, can at least say, 'at least we're not this bad'"--Publisher's description.
