520			_aThere comes a moment in every parent's life when it's time to pack away the playpen, pass along the baby clothes, and sell the infant swing. You have graduated from childbearing and now you major in childrearing. You have finished having babies; now you must learn to live with children. In The Mother Side of Midnight, Teryl Zarnow, mother of three, offers her wry yet reassuring look at surviving the switch from colic to carpools and from booties to Nikes. It is a.

But marriage is improving--they're no longer forced to choose between sex and sleep. As a mother, Zarnow can be as disappointed in her children as she is by the sorry state of her thighs. Some days, she sees troubles ahead just as clearly as the crumbs on her kitchen floor. Other days, she feels blessed by the children who are hers to love. From the Tooth Fairy to.
520			_ahomework to the Great War Over the Cherries in the Fruit Cocktail--to more serious issues such as religion, death, and the "F" word--Zarnow gives you the comforting feeling that when it comes to the joys, guilts, and frustrations (not necessarily in that order) of parenting in the post-pabulum years, you are not alone.
