Parenting Is Easy Sara Given
Toddlers Are A**holes Bunmi Laditan
This hilarious, satirical and sometimes rude guide to toddlerhood offers parents instant (and very welcome) comic relief— along with the very good news that “It’s Not Your Fault.” Chapters cover the cost of raising a toddler, feeding your toddler, potty-training, tantrums and “how not to die inside.” The author of the wildly popular Honest Toddler website speaks parent-to-tired-parent, easing the pains and challenges of raising toddlers with a hefty dose of adult humour and wit.
Imagine a world where pregnant women are always upbeat and glowing, newborns sleep on cue and teenagers gaze adoringly at their parents. Impossible, you say? Not according to advertisers who flood the web with stock photos of perfect parents and children. They’d have you believe that parenting is a piece of cake. The perfect gift of cheer and solidarity, Parenting Is Easy exploits the disconnect between these preposterous photos and what happens in real life, and makes every reader laugh out loud—and feel better, too, because we’re in on the joke.
