edit data

Kara Kinney Cartwright always says, please, thank you, and excuse me–even on the subway. She married a total good guy and, through relentless lecturing, teasing, cash-bribing, and tricking, they have raised two sons who are not assholes, for the most part. If you happen to know her in person, this book is not about you, for the most part. She has written parenting articles for Huff Post, Scary Mommy, Babble, Grown and Flown, and more. She lives near Washington, D.C., and works in legal publishing.
