Do you drop boastful hints about your child, saying 'George is so "busy"' - even though George is six? If so, you might be suffering from the madness of modern families. This book is a hilarious insight into the modern rat race that modern middle-class family life seems to demand.

And why do four different children now require four different kids of pasta - leaving aside the pressure of children's birthday parties and the need to provide organic veggie Halal birthday cakes? Funny, irreverent and right-on-the-button, THE MADNESS OF MODERN FAMILIES taps into a phenomenon that we've all recognised but haven't dared to speak out about . Until now ...>
