Mommy Knows Worst: Highlights from the Golden Age
Category: Humor
Author: James Lileks
Copyright/published Year: 2005 by Three Rivers
ISBN: 1400082285
Binding: Paper
In Mommy Knows Worst, you'll be treated to a visual feast
of past parenting neuroses -- as well as insight into why
concerned moms and dads were driven to buy "delicious" baby
laxatives, douse their baby in oil and put him in the sun, and
strap Junior into a car seat that bore a strange resemblance to
scrap metal. If you're a baby boomer who lived through this
childhood torture, well, we're sorry. But if humor really is the
best medicine (rather than bicarbonate of curd and mustard
plaster, as was previously recommended for childhood ailments),
then Mommy Knows Worst is cheaper than therapy.
Photographs, advertisements, magazine articles, and
government-issue parenting guides, which seemed so helpful in
their day, are given a whole new slant by the master of the
genre, James Lileks. Mommy Knows Worst is a rollicking
tribute to old-fashioned parenting that gives us a whole new
reason not to forget our past -- it's hilarious!
