A refreshing, honest, funny and empowered view of parenting Parents who are fed up with the pressure to turn their children into star athletes, concert violinists and top scholars - all at once - finally have an alternative: the world of Slacker moms, where kids learn to do things for themselves and parents can cut themselves some slack. Where it's perfectly all right to do less, have less and spend less. Slacker moms say 'no' to parenting philosophies that undermine parents' and children's ability to think for themselves. They say 'yes' to saving their money and time by opting out of the parenting competition. And they say 'Hell, yes!' to having a life of their own, knowing it makes them better parents. In this witty and insightful book, author Muffy Mead-Ferro reflects on her own experiences of growing up on a ranch in Wyoming, where parenting - by necessity - was more hands-off, people made do with what they had, and common sense and generational wisdom prevailed. We should all take her sane lead!

Muffy Mead-Ferro was born into a cattle-ranching family in Wyoming, but traded her tractor for a typewriter and has been an advertising copywriter and creative director ever since. She lives with her husband Michael, and kids Belle and Joe, in Utah, USA.
