Dennis Swanberg is well-known for his humorous take on life. Ahilarious storyteller, "Dr. Swan" always has the prescription for what is ailing you. In this new book, Dr. Swan reveals his heart for the family.

"Parent-itis: a condition that results from the job of being a loving, caring parent; symptoms may include: sleepless nights, worried minds, dwindling bank accounts, messy houses, unmade beds, smudgy carpets, empty gas tanks, sticky tabletops, unfolded laundry, frequent visits to the pediatrician, full grocery carts, and empty refrigerators . . . those who contract parent-itis also receive massive quantities of love, appreciation, admiration, affirmation, and satisfaction. In summary, parentitis is both an obligation and a gift, with the value of the gift far outweighing the cost of the obligation."
