8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter
And other tips from a beleaguered father {not that any of them work}
by W. Bruce Cameron
A comic survival guide to being a parent of teenage daughters, Bruce
Cameron's book started life in 1995 as a wildly, and accidentally,
successful Internet column. In short, sharply observed vignettes, he touches
a middle-aged-male nerve by describing the rage and bewilderment of having
little girls turn into teenage monsters, but every complaint is punctured by
a self-deprecating regular-guy-in-a-mad-world irony. There are helpful hints
(or rather, unhelpful ones, because Cameron admits that nothing will make
any difference) for coping with the telephone, clothes, parties, car you
used to own, and boyfriend you don't want her to hang around with.
