Young child a**holery is a normal part of human development-not unlike puberty, except this stage involves throwing meals on the floor and taking swings in people who pay out your way in lifestyle. For parents of small children, it’s a ‘you better giggle so you don’t cry’ period.

Bunmi Laditan’s hilarious, satirical guide to toddlerhood offers parents quick (and incredibly welcome) comic relief-along with the very good news that ‘It’s Not Your Mistake.’ Chapters cover the expense of raising a toddler, feeding your toddler, about Small children Are A**holes: It’s Not Your Mistake potty-training, tantrums, how to manage the holidays, and ‘how never to die inside.’ Parents will dsicover themselves in the very funny sections on taking your child to restaurants (‘One parent will spend their time walking your toddler around the restaurant and outside like a cocker spaniel, as the other, luckier parent will eat alone.’), Things You Thought You’d Never Say That You Now Say Like a Parent of a Toddler (‘I actually can show you’re pooping because your eye are watering.’), and how to purchase pizza (‘Spend $40 about pizza delivery. Pay attention to your toddler cry for 30 minutes about how the pizza is certainly all wrong. View your toddler have a little bite of crust. Google ‘can anger offer you a coronary attack?’ Begin the bedtime routine.’).

Laditan’s wildly crazy voice has attracted thousands of supporters of Honest Toddler on social media marketing; here she talks parent-to-tired-parent, easing the pains and issues of raising toddlers with a hefty dosage of adult humor and wit.
