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.

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.

This would be a great baby gift for new parents-to-be, especially dads-to-be. It really is cute, and occasionally caused me to laugh out loud. I bought it for myself and will pass it on happily to the next set of friends who are expecting, but I wouldn't buy it for myself again.

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

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.

This book is very cute. More of a coffee table book, you can pick it up and start reading from anywhere for a good laugh.

funny and entertaining. Good to read when you are tired of all the advice books and just want something to read when you are resting your tired swollen feet :)

This book hits all the points of new parenthood (some that are rarely spoken, like, "what to say about ugly babies") not that i believe there are ugly babies~ ;) It does so in such a funny way, i was crying, all the while laughing. The diagrams defintely add to the tone. Definitly recommend buying - for you, and your friends.

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.

If your looking for something that will give you a bit of a lift when your tired and cranky from constant nursing and lack of sleep, keep looking. This book is a dud,mildly amusing at best.
