Grandparenting ABC's: A Beginner's Handbook

Rating:
Summary: Good unless Grandma is a psycho
Review: I thought this was a great book to buy as a gift for my mother-in-law when I was pregnant with her first grandchild. It is full of updated childcare tips as well as suggestions for how the grandparents can assist and support the new family without stepping on anyone's toes (advice my mother-in-law was in desperate need of). Unfortunately, the grandmother who received this book from me was offended and thought it best to wait to divulge this information until the baby was born and the sleep-deprived parents were unsure how to react. Apparently she knows everything... sadly she hasn't seen her grandson more than a handful of times and has yet to exhibit any kind of knowledge about children (although she tells me that my 4-month-old will soon be putting things in his pockets and I better check them when I do the laundry).
