Confessions of a new parent

When I looked at Cooking for Gracie, it was familiar from Keith Dixon's humorous 'Alternate side cooking' Man with a Pan where he has trouble coming to terms with a leak of his power on what his infant eats, once his wife starts cooking and his daughter starts liking the new food. He also compares cooking no-nos and kitchen to road and its rules.
His dismay in losing control of being the sole food maker for his little daughter is just one of the difficult things that new parents have to deal with. As a child, we might just answer very easily to the question of who our favourite parent with all the taking sides that happens in the family. I wonder how the parents feel pitched against each other for their children's love. Touchy, as the subject is, I appreciated the author's honesty.


For new parents theres ton of preview into the 'horror show' of not only sleepless nights but also days and nights merging as well.


I learn that you dont feed a baby under an year old, food no longer the size of a large raisin. That even when you are sleeping you still listen to what your daughter says in the day.
