Product Description

While it's inevitable that all of us will traumatize our children, even the most committed parents have lacked guidance in doing so deliberately and effectively. Don't leave your most important job to instinct and gut reactions. Whether you want to traumatize your children with the same techniques your parents used, or you prefer to choose an entirely new approach, this book will show you the way!

Learn how to:

*Determine your traumatizing type

*Cultivate your children's resentment

*Give your children enough material to write a memoir someday

*Defend your choices against others who've opted to traumatize differently

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific, funny book - Hits a too little close to home?, June 4, 2008
By J. T. Stern (Los Angeles, CA USA) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is a hoot! Get it for your friends who are about to have kids, already have kids, or who are thinking about having kids! This book is written very straight -- the funny part is that all the horrible "advice" it gives you about how to go about traumatizing your kids is actually representative of what I see people doing to their children every day!(Of course, I never did ANY of this stuff to my three kids...uh...well...maybe a little...uhhh, chapter 4 and chapter 6!) This is part of a set of six books (that I saw together in another store) and all the titles are funny - How to get fat, How to drive like a maniac, etc. They make a great gift and look very cute lined up on a shelf -- the titles make people look at them twice! I recommend it for a good laugh and as a clever, surprising gift. Add it to a baby shower gift!

5.0 out of 5 stars Hilarious and all too true!, December 26, 2008
By Sally (Boston, MA USA) - See all my reviews
In addition to being side-splittingly funny in places, this book is such a brilliant depiction of negative parenting, it's actually quite enlightening. They're not talking about obviously abusive characteristics; rather they shed excruciating light on more subtle and common contemporary parenting "styles" with chapter headings such as "Exerting Control: Your Child, Your Property," "It's all about YOU: Narcissistic Parenting," "Don't quit your day job: The convenience of neglect," or "Whatever they want: Indulgence begets entititlement." Wish I'd read this years ago. It might have helped spare my kids and me some pain.

5.0 out of 5 stars It Comes Natural, October 7, 2008
By Alexis Jane (Manhattan Beach, CA) - See all my reviews
I really thought that Traumatizing your children came naturally, but maybe for all those new age parents it's not so natural. It's a good thing this book is available to teach them how to terrorize their own offspring. My life wouldn't be the same without my parents having traumatized me.

As per the Cinematic references, my mother and I watched Mommie Dearest together when I was a young tot...wondering now if it was just so I would appreciate her that much more.
