You know those conversations you have with your girlfriend over a glass of coffee (or wine!) where you admit the things you wanted to say to your kids earlier in the day, but instead bit your tongue and smiled?
Those texts you send your husband in the middle of the afternoon when your four year old is on your last nerve?
You know those moments – they’re what make life fun, and being able to share them helps take the edge off of a long day! Any parent that says they’ve never thought a smart-ass remark in their head about their child – in my opinion – isn’t being truthful. It’s what makes us human.
This book is the reward for keeping our mouths shut and not damaging our kids and requiring years of therapy down the road.
Laugh along as you read everything you’ve always wanted to say to your kids:
– You’re so right. Brussels Sprouts are disgusting. But the great part about being a grownup is that I’m sure as hell not going to eat them…but you are!
– I almost always lie about the time so you have to go to bed earlier.
– I generally stop listening to you tell me about your day after thirty seconds of “and then we drew shapes and then…”
This isn’t a book to read cover to cover, but rather to flip through with your spouse or a friend and point out your favorites! I think this would make a great gift for your best friend, sister, or maybe your brother who is encountering all the joy that parenting brings for the first time.
Look for this book at Amazon.com in the US and Chapters Indigo in Canada, among other retailers.

I always enjoy a good laugh…and some days when the kids are driving me nuts, I could use one! 🙂
I work in daycare, so it sounds pretty much like most of my days!
this sounds like it would be a good laugh. i’m always commenting to others about the annoying things i can’t comment to my kids on.
If it’s anything like “Go the F to Sleep”, I’ll love it, lol
