I was (thankfully) long past the “putting kids to bed” stage of life when I first read this book, but you don’t have to be in the depths of sleep-deprived hell to enjoy it! This book is 100% irreverent which makes it 100% perfect! It will provide just the right amount of levity to any frustrated parent/sitter who can’t understand why that beautiful, crying child in front of them won’t go to sleep already! Disclaimer: If you don’t appreciate a good F-bomb, don’t read this book. The title says it all.

One of the hardest things you need to do as a parent is getting your kids to sleep. This "children's book for adults", is designed and written like a standard baby book but includes a very accurate description of the slow descent into madness that it sometimes entails. I wouldn’t worry about the profanities, your kids will never remember them.
