Description
Only Children is a compassionate and knowing portrait of baby boomers obsessed about how to best raise their infants. The story follows two middle-class Manhattan couples from the deliveries of their first born until their fourth birthdays. What’s exposed about the new parents’s own childhoods has as much to do with how they raise their children as the manuals and magazine advice they piously try to follow. Weaving affection and satire into a seamless and heartfelt story, Yglesias captures the joys and stupidities of raising children during a time when they were often hilariously exaggerated.
