Editor’s note: My brother, Whit Honea, just had his first book published – a book on how to deal with parenting that is written for all kinds of families. Although Whit is straight, he is one of the most open guys I know, and he wrote his book with parents of all stripes in mind. Plus, bias aside, he’s a helluva writer. Check it out if you are a parent of young kids, or if you know one. Whit, we’re really proud of you. –Scott & Mark

1 The term “expert” was insisted upon by the publisher in hopes of selling more books. Whit will deny the label with his dying breath. He prefers “antiexpert,” because it sounds so much cooler, even if he made it up.
