Customer Reviews

Laughed out loud!

I highly recommend this book!! It was hilarious. I actually laughed out loud while pumping. Pumping is not my favorite part of motherhood, to say the least. What a great way to get through a difficult time. It helped me to see the humor in all kinds of new mother situations.

Hilarious doesn't begin to describe this!!

This has got to be the all time funniest thing I have EVER read! And I'm an English/Poetry grad student, I read a LOT! Besides the humerous stuff worth its weight in gold, it doesn't have to be read straight through, you can just open it to any random page and read something - a little or a lot, it's all good!! Being a new parent is tough, and a lot of times depressing and demoralizing. This is the PERFECT pick-me-up. It's even more funny-cuz-it's-true when you have more kids! This book is highly recommended, for you or for anyone you know with babies.

a must have for new parents

hilarious book, a great break from the serious parenting books. we laugh so hard we were crying.

My New Favorite Parenting Book

I just read this book at a friend's house and ordered several copies to give as gifts for new parents. I laughed to the point of crying, just the thing new parents need to lighten the load of a new baby.

hilarious!

I can't remember the last time I laughed so hard! Wasson's parody of parenting strikes at the truth so many times -- I saw reality written all through this satire. Plus, a thought I will often ponder: My parents could have spared me the problem of encountering multiple other Carlies in school by naming me Carlee or, for that matter, Carleeeee. I mean, seriously. Why didn't they think of it? =) Read this book, you just might laugh so hard that people will think you're sobbing.
