Go check your bed. Is it unmade?

Yes?

Then you may have been Raised by Wolves, or at least by a mother or father who has chosen to tidy up behind you because they love you. But now that you are a Big Boy or Big Girl, their love would probably be best served telling you to clean up after yourself. That crazy work-related dilemma? Figure it out for yourself. It is time to cut the parents a break, especially if you are a parent now. Rise to the challenge!

Fortunately, Christie Mellor of The Three-Martini Playdate fame has written an instruction manual for newly-crowned adults (or those of us who act as though our last moment of teenagerdom was yesterday, even if we are already past thirty.) Many of our parentbloggers are a tad older than fresh out of high-school or college, but something told us we’d better delve into Ms. Mellor’s advice.

Were You Raised by Wolves?: Clues to the Mysteries of Adulthood is filled with practical tips about such topics as how to keep your living space clean and well-decorated, how to act at work, and how to be money-smart. But this isn’t a dry textbook: adulthood doesn’t have to be boring.
