"...'parenting' isn't a noun but a verb..." (House Rules, p.118)
Actually, Ms. Picoult, it is a gerund which is a verb functioning as a noun after having had "-ing" added. So please....give me a break. "Parenting" is the noun form of the verb "to parent."
This was a terrible analogy.
Apologies if you enjoy Jodi Picoult's writing. I just don't.
Cynically,
A.
