Summary

Insightful and irreverent, one baby boomer helps Generation X parents to find humor in the family situations boomerang children have caused and continue to cause. These situations include frustration, exasperation, carpal tunnel, early menopause, flatulence, and Prozac-induced stupor.

Millions of responsible postparental Gen Xers are cowering in confusion and despair, wondering who left the door unlocked when their adult children return home.

The Crowded Nest Syndrome deals with how one baby boomer grandmother:

  • Coped in chaotic conditions of crowded proportions for years
  • Moved out of state only to be followed and invaded...again
  • Watched $250 in groceries disappear in less than 24 hours
  • Gave up vacations for entertaining/raising full-time grandchildren.

"I'm frightened, Auntie Em," said Dorothy. Shaputis is right with you, Dorothy, braced against her door, hiding from the frat-house madness of her own home after the invasion of adult children. Where's that dumb Toto when you need him?

A humorous, off-beat infomercial, The Crowded Nest Syndrome will help countless Gen X parents who woke up one morning wondering what happened to their peaceful preretirement years of easy living and forewarn those whose offspring are still too young to vote.
