They''re trying to guide their sons through the foothills of childhood into the bewildering uplands of adulthood. But it''s hard to know if they''re doing it right.Or what their sons'' mothers think.Wise and funny, touching and true, What We''re Teaching Our Sons is for anyone who has ever wondered how to be a grown up.
