Condoms Are Cheaper Than Child Support: And Other Obvious Truths we Overlook When Creating our Reality

Through a compilation of personal and revealing stories, author Christy Gaynell shows readers how poor communication and unwillingness to accept the truth get in the way of living a fulfilling life. Using experiences from her relationships, friendships, and family matters, she offers expert testimony on how people easily misinterpret the intentions of others to the point of feeling misunderstood, upset, angry or confused. These are emotions that people easily allow to interfere with personal growth. This book shows readers how to recognize and address challenges to their progress. Each chapter concludes with a series of suggestions to help people move forward with their newly awakened perspective by getting out of their own way. The title could suggest that the book is a spiteful dig at men who prefer to reproduce regardless of responsibility. Instead, these anecdotes, which initially began as advice the author wanted to share with her son, provoke thought and discussion about how men and women fail to see the obvious consequences of their actions. The stories provide entertainment and useful information to men and women of all ages. They also serve as excellent tools for facilitating mature conversations between teenagers and their parents.
