Suzy K. Quinn reveals the truth behind the lies we tell mothers, one sleepless night at a time. Suzy and Demi were carefree twenty-somethings. They had fun! They didn't have responsibilities! And then they decided to have a baby. Goodbye lazy weekends, hello sleepless nights, arguments and an addiction to industrial-strength hot chocolate. In the midst of this major life change, Suzy discovered that most parenting advice should be taken with a pinch of salt-- or ten. For example: #1 Lie: Just go with your mothers' instinct. But what if your instinct is telling you to hide under the stairs? #10 Lie: Your new baby will tell you what it needs. Not if it can't talk. #23 Lie: You should never bribe your children. You will ALWAYS bribe your children. Follow Suzy on the ultimate make-over from nervous-wreck new mother to happy family. In this hilarious and refreshingly honest account for parents who prefer the realistic to the utopian, Suzy debunks the myths and takes us all along for the (bumpy) ride.

Willes examines interviews from parents as well as their adult children about the lies parents tell their children while they are growing up. Willes, having analyzed these stories, then discusses three general reasons why parents fib: 1) to ensure that their children perform certain actions or observe certain behaviors, 2) to tease or play a practical joke on their children, and 3) to be imaginative and play with their children. Willes then evaluates the effects the impact these lies have (or have not) on the lives of their children.
