A funny, honest, snarky, sarcastic, OMG-did-she-really-say-that? book about toddlers. Toddlers are assholes. I don't have kids myself, but I still know that toddlers are evil. :P So I had lots of fun reading this book. From clothes to parties to potty training to sex life with a toddler running and screaming around you to mealtime to well everything else. Did I mention wine or alcohol, a very important staple to survive toddlerhood. This book is full to the brim with everything about toddlers. There are recipes (funny ones), the sanctiparent bumping in (with extra comments), the book has drawings/scribblies, letters. You won't be bored once while reading this one, instead you will be laughing your butt off and maybe shake your head (both at the author and at the evil toddlers of doom). :P
All in all, definitely recommended. I definitely have to see if the author has written more books as I do love her style of writing.

I listened to this book as an audiobook, I’m not sure I would have read much if I tried actually reading it. This book was funny, I had a lot of laugh-out-loud moments, but it wasn’t helpful in any way. I just had different expectations: humor about the behavior of toddlers, but insightful with how to deal with them. Instead the book was all about the assholery of toddlers and sarcastic ways to get through the behaviors. It was a funny listen, but I didn’t learn anything.

Laughing from the first paragraph to the last. I related to the material and even the few I didn’t, I knew exactly what she was talking about. This is not an advice book. This is a “you are not alone” book and just what I needed.

A toddler is a cross between a sociopath, a rabid animal, a cocker spaniel, a demon, and an angel. Depending on the time of day and when your toddler's last meal was, you will see all of these sides.

Y'all. I cannot stress enough how much everyone I am friends with needs to read this book.

The mothers. The child free by choicers. The grandmothers. ESPECIALLY the grandmothers.

This is validation. This is warning label. This is "bwa ha ha ha ha I AM SO HAPPY TO NOT HAVE KIDS BRING ON THE MARGARITAS."

This was a couple different things for me, some hard to explain. But oh. Oh, that satisfyingly sweet taste of BWA HA HA HA.

This book has something for everyone. Including recipes such as "Sweet as Life Used to Be" Dessert Nachos and "If you don't stop whining I may start screaming" tonic (just add vodka).

And if you are one of those moms who has never had a problem with her children, and thinks anyone who would refer to their child as an asshole doesn't deserve to have children in the first place?

Oh. Oh, there's things in here for you, too.
