I Wanna Be Sedated: 30 Writers on Parenting Teenagers

Edited by Faith Conlon and Gail Hudson

At a time when kids push every known hot button and wreak havoc with carefully thought-out strategies, I Wanna Be Sedated brings humor and perspective to some of the deepest worries of parents. Great writers like Dave Barry, Barbara Kingsolver, and Anna Quindlen weigh in with stories that help with the last leg (hopefully) of the perilous journey to living with your children.

A personal note from the Fairy Godmother: This collection of essays lightened my heart if for no other reason than to be reassured that there are worse parents and teenagers than me and mine. If you are feeling worried or rattled by your teen(s), this book will make you feel better or at least reassure you of the genuine surrealness of this stage of your parenting life. The Dave Barry essay alone is worth the price of the book!
