This review is from: Hi Mom! Hi Dad! (Paperback)

Most new parents don't think the first 12 months of parenthood is a laughing matter...till they read this collection of 101 cartoons by Lynn Johnston. There's something about sleepless nights and babbling days that seems a lot funnier in a cartoon book.

This review is from: Hi Mom! Hi Dad! (Paperback)

Before my daughter was born, I had read many books about newborns and how they change your life. Fortunately, my daughter was a relative angel; it was a rare occasion when she cried in the night, her regular hours were from 9AM to 9PM. Therefore, when I read this book, I found it difficult to relate to the cartoons that depicted a whiny, crying baby that keeps you up all night.
However, I did relate to the other ones, especially those about how having a child completely changes your perspective. When you go anywhere, you think about the child and whatever you are doing, you switch back to being a parent at a certain time of the day or night.
Parenting is one of the most joyous things you can ever do, and I confess that I do miss the days of dirty diapers, carrying and feeding a baby and singing to her. My wife and I were talking the other day about looking forward to having grandchildren so we can do it all over again. Reading this book reinforced that desire.

This is a very fuuny book. It makes you see the lighter side of parenthood. I laughed through and through. What makes it more appealing is that over 20 years later I have experienced the same things that Lynn Johnston wrote about then.
