Product Description
It seems to happen overnight. One minute your daughter is wearing bunny slippers and demanding bedtime stories. The next, she's wearing a midriff-baring tee shirt and demanding the car keys. 8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter takes us shriek by shriek through the process of raising teenage girls, including braces (the most expensive metal on earth), the telephone (seemingly wired to her nervous system), and, of course, dating (Rule #2: Keep your hands and eyes off my daughter's body, or I will remove them)

Book Description
Bruce Cameron is "the talk of parents nationwide" (People). He is "a brilliantly funny writer . . . in the tradition of James Thurber. He is so funny he makes you think that being a grown-up isn't such a crummy deal after all" (Cathryn Michon, author of The Girl Genius Guide to Life); his observations are "warm and funny, exhibiting just the right mix of laughs and love" (Kansas City Star), and "rich with tongue-in-cheek fatherly wisdom" (Cincinnati Enquirer). A nationally syndicated columnist with the Rocky Mountain News, Cameron gained national attention with the publication of 8 SIMPLE RULES in hardcover, becoming a regular contributor to Time's "Your Family" column and a featured story on CNN, CBS's The Early Show, and in People magazine. The reason is simple: he expresses something very true in a very funny way, examining just what happens when Daddy's little girl becomes a teenager. Beginning with the warning signs (#5: Your car insurance suddenly costs more than the car), the book covers dating (Rule #2: Keep your hands and eyes off my daughter's body or I will remove them), the telephone (seemingly wired to her nervous system), braces (the costliest metal on earth), the first job, and more. "Cameron's take on the angst felt by every father of a teenage daughter is witty, wise, and excruciatingly on the money" (Charles Shyer, writer and director, Father of the Bride I and II).

8 Simple Rules for Dating My Teenage Daughter
Rating  (5)
Date: 2008-05-12
Sorry, but...it's hard...to...write anything, due to the fact that I (Well, my wife did have a little input) (LOL) raised three (count 'em--3) daughters. And, Lord bless 'em, we allowed all three to live. Although the session about the telephone rang very true back then, these days everybody has their own cellular phone, so tht's a tad out of date. Nevertheless, this is a "too true to be believed" read. Hilarious! I recommend it even for you poor fools out there without the pure joy of raising daughters. (Maybe sons also...) Charles A. Reap, Jr., author of "Devil's Game," and "My Friend Sam."

I thought this book had three levels to it. Firstly informative for beleaguered parents. Secondly hilarious to the extent of major coughing fits. Thirdly I think it is a reassuring boost to all singletons who have felt sad at not having a familiy, that they are not missing anything.
Bravo Bruce on every count, it ticks all the boxes.
