I just received this book the other day. I opened it and started to read, and I swear, I couldn't put it down. The only reason I did was because we had some company coming. The book is so funny. Ken has a way of writing about his kids that remind me of so many "adventures" shall we call it, that I had with my 7 kids when they were young and growing up. This book is a must read for anyone with children. I especially enjoyed his first chapter entitled, "My Rookie Year". My oh my, the memories it brought back. The "Poop-Free-Zone" is hysterically funny. This book is wonderful, and Ken Swarner is a master at telling stories about family, I guess that's why he's called "The Family Man."
Again, this is a MUST READ for all who have children. I loved it.
Also, if anyone is interested, subscribe to his newsletter. You'll find many more adventures by "The Family Man."

Got our copy about two weeks ago and have been smiling ever since (people generally refer to me as the "Grouch" so the book has helped).

Truly though, Ken has a unique style of reality and humor. He mixes them well in each episode of the book. It is definitely a "keeper" and I am recommending to all my e-mail friends.

Ken Swarner is a very funny man, whose approach to family life is realistic. We see the funny side in our kids now, let alone his!

Whose Kids are these anyway is a must read for any parents out there. As all of us know, parenting takes a certain level of humor to insure our sanity. Ken Swarner jokes his way through his own parenting adventures and in doing so, shows us that we are not alone in our parental frustrations. So the next time your kids have you ready to pull your hair out . . . pick up Ken's book. Think of it as your own personal therapy ...

This is hilarious book full of essays that will really strike a chord with parents everywhere. I found myself laughing out loud several times throughout the reading of this book. The stories that Ken Swarner relates here are great to read at the end of an especially trying day. The situations that arise are hilarious, yet contain enough universal truths that parents all over the globe will probably find themselves smiling and thinking "Been there, done that!" It's nice to know that food fights, homework struggles, and other assorted mischief occur in other places besides your own home. If you are a parent, a grandparent, or just would like to have some great laughs, I heartily recommend this book!

If you have children... This is the book for you. This is a LAUGH REALLY OUT LOUD book. I have passed this book around to about a half a dozen people. And they say the same. Husbands and wives alike. I wish KEN would write another book or find a book just as funny. It's a MUST read if you have children.

Ken is a master at capturing the parent's view of children. Our collective joy, frustration, and humor is encapsulated in this highly recommended book.

Any generation and believe it or not single people too can relate to the family life potrayed in Ken Swarners antics of his family life.

I received the book for Mothers Day, and jokingly accused my grown-up-sons of contributing ideas to it. It was that easy to share warm hearted memories and stories with family members after I had read it.

A Great Gift to read and save to pass down to the next generation of parents. (God Be Their Mercy)

This was a very funny book. The incidents were a reminder of what we faced raising our children. I hope Mr Swarner will do another book with the updates.

It is a proven fact, that laughing produces endorphins. When we produce endorphins we strengthen our immune system thus leading a healthier life. "Who's kid Are These Anyway," was the best immune builder I've received in a very long time. I laughed out loud numerous time when reading it. I highly recommend it to anybody that needs a good to laugh. Ken Swarner is a brilliant author.
