"Why isn't this in the parenting handbook? I shouldn't have to repeat the same mistakes someone else has made!" Being a parent is busy, beautiful, frustrating, rewarding, magnificent, and absolutely crazy, all at the same time! It gets overwhelming! I get it. I'm right there with you. We have 4 kids involved in seven sports, 26 pets, and a hobby of world travel. Although "Out of Bounds" refers to our role on the sidelines, it also encompasses the idea of a world without set rules. Experiment and play with new idea. This is not a "how-to" book. This is a compass, helping us, as parents, to find direction and enjoy the adventure.
