“Mom, you woke me up when I specifically asked you not to!” “Why did you turn here when you know this is the slowest possible way to go?” “I cannot believe you made teriyaki chicken again! Is that the only freaking thing you know how to make?” Sound familiar? The Agony and the Agony is a bitingly honest guide to what it takes (out of you) to raise a teen in today’s permissive, high-anxiety culture. This book is packed with hilarious stories, tips from former teens, parental traps to avoid, and advice on how not to handle each phase. For every parent who’s wondered, “What the hell is wrong with my kid?” Londergan provides empathy and wisdom from the trenches, as well as hope for a gainfully employed future.
