Does This Sound Familiar? 'Hey, Gimme a Break!' 'Aw... You Just Don't Understand!' 'Try to see it my way for once!' ... the lines of every teenager through history, right? Not this time! The dirty little secret is that your parents were actually your age once. Believe it or not, they went through a lot of the same junk you're going through now (including with their parents!) ... and another dirty little secret is that some day you'll be trying to make sense of your kids and their lives. Read This Book Or You're Grounded! gives you six chapters with a lot of sound-bites and cool 'boarding-inspired cartoons, plus wisdom and common sense with an attitude. Read This Book Or You're Grounded! includes two chapters on understanding, two on getting along one on special needs and concerns; and a final wrap-up of marching orders to put all this wonderful wisdom into practice. God is here, too: author Wayne Rice lays a spiritual foundation for mutual respect, common understanding, and getting along with parents in all ways. This book can change your life... change the life of your family... and change your relationship with those sometimes-weird parental units who hang around the kitchen, hog the TV, and act like it's their own house.
