When I was asked to write this book it was not because I am an accredited child rearing expert. I have no degree; credentials or recognition as a child raising expert. I am a professional storyteller who occasionally tells stories about parenting. Herersquo;s an important credential I do hold: I have won the West Virginia Liarsrsquo; Contest five times. The advice I offer; however; is honest. I have two kids who; at this writing; are eight and eleven years old. That gives me nineteen collective years in the parenting trenches. I cannot claim to be a successful parent. Irsquo;m not sure when any parent can deem their job a success. Your childrsquo;s whole life will be greatly determined by the portion they spend with you. I am offering what advice I can with the idea that I think my wife and I are doing pretty well. I should admit that I have never before written an advice book; never read an advice book; and donrsquo;t have much intention of ever reading one. Irsquo;m not sure Irsquo;ve ever even read an instruction manual past the point where it says; Before attempting to operate this device you need to thoroughly read these instructions. I just muddle through." mdash;from the Introduction While National storyteller Bil Lepp has been known to lie in public; in his book Muddling Through he gives us some truths he has learned from being a parent and from having parents. Each lesson has a story attached which makes it not only fun reading; but memorable learning as well.
