I don't have any kids but it has been impossible to ignore the buzz behind this book. Every parent is saying "It's so true!" "Hilariously honest!" "That's exactly how we feel!" etc., etc. So I figured I would take the time to read this. Besides, I enjoy cursing and rhyming so I thought there would still be something in it for me.

Still, it was funny how the parent/narrator got more and more desperate towards the end and began doubting his parenting abilities.
The real icing on the cake is Samuel L. Jackson narrating the audiobook version:
