We're expecting, and our MIL gifted us this book so that we could see what sort of parenting advice she'd been reading when she raised my husband and his sister.

It was interesting, but I wouldn't recommend it today. Much of the book is science-dependent (which is great), but science in parenting has moved along quite a bit since these essays were originally published.
