I was laughing hysterically by the second paragraph.
"Like serial killers, toddlers struggle with empathy."
Read it! It's amazing.

I loved this book. Sometimes it's nice to read books that justifies your feelings. I loved it most because I laughed through the whole book. As I was reading it I thought to myself I need every parent to have this book.

Quite possibly the funniest book I have ever read. Strong language, but so true!! Loved it.

Um, yeah. This book is amazing. Telling it like it is! And it is quite funny...it's funny because it's true.

Very funny. This is the result of a frustrated parent venting about all the antics toddlers do, and makes me not feel alone in the trenches of motherhood. It's definitely a little sarcastic, but it is such a fun read. There is a lot of language, but most of it is totally appropriate for the situation.

Shh, mommy's working. Get that out of your nose!
With one hand holding my Kindle, and the other stirring atomic orange cheese powder over noodles that would inevitably end up all over my toddlers and floors, I breathed a sigh of relief. I wasn't alone. With each page turn and snort-inducing laugh, I found the day's stress momentarily subside. Knowing I couldn't put this down, I put Frozen on for the umpteenth time and let my 2 year old and 4 year old wreak havoc with their lunches while they belted out Let It Go at a volume that made my ears ring. I could clean up the chaos later once I had wrangled them to bed and nursed a bottle of wine.
Are you the parent of a toddler? Do your eyes roll anytime a sanctimommy pops up on your Facebook feed? Does getting ready for a trip to the store with your kids just mean your hair in a bun and a different pair of stained yoga pants? This book is for you. It pairs with any alcohol, so what you have on hand will be fine.

This book is actually reassuring parents that it’s ok if you feel overwhelmed, tired, fed up and it’s ok if you feel like you want to run in the world, by yourself, because the fact is that toddlers make you feel this way. You can accept it and tell the world the truth or you can paint yourself as the perfect parent and don’t accept your reality. This book can only be understood by parents so if you are not a parent but decide to read it you might roll your eyes and tend to believe that all this book is just pure exaggeration. As a mother of twins, I am telling you: It is the pure reality!

I love every single thing about this book. I love the raw honesty and the comfort it gives me in being reassured that I'm not alone in the struggle! and the confirmation of normality in the guilty feelings, such a relief. I'm keeping this by my side at all times for those moments i want to lock myself away and scream for help and guidance.

Perfectly said in so many ways!
This literally described toddlers in the most perfect way. I do most of the things mentioned to get through the day sometimes. I laughed out loud more than I ever have with any other book. Thanks for the great read and making me feel better about my life

I laughed so hard I cried while reading this book. This lady just gets it! I would definitely recommend this to all my mommy friends. Unless you're offended by strong language and sarcasm. If that's the case then this probably isn't the book for you.

While I enjoyed the humour in the author's writing and can relate to the author's frustration with her toddler - there is not one sweet moment in the book that shows me the slivers of joy of raising a toddler.
Quick, easy read. It was self-published and editing proves this.

To say that this book reached me at a very specific point in my life is quite the understatement. It made me laugh out loud every five pages or so with how true (and hilarious) it was. I would recommend it to anyone who sometimes gets frustrated by life with their toddler.

Seriously horrible language. Not for the faint of heart. But, hey! Neither is parenting a toddler. I was laughing out loud by myself while also wanting to cry a little bit.
Not recommended for those offended by cursing or poop talk.

Super funny! But - and I know there was a "disclaimer" - there were so many errors, I lost count. Very obvious ones, too, such as "each" instead of "reach." This was very distracting.

I took off one star because of too many typos, but overall it was laugh out loud funny and SO TRUE.

Best book I have read in a long time. So super funny and so much truth! Loved it!

The book made me chuckle in a few occasions but I also felt attacked in some of my (more crunchy) parenting choices and the fact that I actually do genuinely care about my children.

Not just for parents of toddlers. Sometimes my seven year old acts like a toddlers, so I think any parent will get a good laugh out of this book.

Funny book. Enjoyable, but too many grammatical/conventional errors.
April 18, 2015
Awesome! Brutally and hilariously honest...more wine, Mommy? Yes, please!
January 15, 2015
Very funny! But you do have to get past the many errors. Was not proofread very well.

It was a good read, the language at times was a bit rough and there were several grammatical problems, but despite that the topic of the book hit the nail on the head.

Probably one of my favorite books to read out loud.

Laugh out loud!

So tired. So, so tired.
