In the Facebook Age, parents are susceptible to oversharing, from posting photos of their baby’s first bathroom experience to criticizing the parenting skills of fellow Facebook “friends.” STFU, Parents showcases the hilarious, horrifying, and even downright bizarre behavior of parents on the web. In the tradition of The Hipster Handbook, it’s a humorous revelation of parents who give a little too much information: how to identify them, how to avoid them, how to avoid becoming them, and how, when all else fails, to sit back and see the humor.
