About
Carpool Tunnel:
Everyone has heard of Carpal Tunnel Syndrome—that painful
malady from too much repetitive motion. But how many have
heard of its poor cousin, Carpool Tunnel Syndrome? The
only known cure for parents driven to distraction by their
parenting duties is to read this wonderfully funny book by
Judy Gruen. Carpool Tunnel Syndrome takes a clever look at
life with kids: the culinary creativity needed to satisfy
“discriminating” palates, the politics of carpooling, and
the author’s attempt to provide her kids with
low-maintenance pet fish, only to discover that small
aquatic creatures have the average life span of a
deflating soufflé.

About
Judy Gruen |
|
 |
Judy Gruen , the beleaguered mother of four, wrote "Carpool Tunnel Syndrome: Motherhood as Shuttle Diplomacy," as an act of revenge. Remarkably, her children are still on speaking terms with her, especially when it's time for allowances to be handed out.
Judy has written for Ladies' Home Journal, Woman's Day, the Los Angeles
Times, L.A. Parent, and countless other, though admittedly less well known,
publications. A self-proclaimed parenting expert, she has lectured widely
on the topic of parenthood, usually in the kitchen, to audiences as large as
four.
Although Judy earned a bachelor's degree in English from the University of
California, Berkeley, and a master's degree in Journalism from Northwestern
University's Medill School of Journalism, she wishes she had gone to the
California School of Drywall instead. If she had, she would know how to
patch all the holes and nicks in the walls of her home caused by errant bat
swings and collisions with model trains. Instead, she's got to pay retail
for a handyman.
Judy lives in Los Angeles with her husband, four children, and too many
goldfish.
