I Heart My Little A-Holes audiobook

Oh man, this book it like a breath of fresh air! There are so many times where I'm afraid that I'm alone in my thinking...this book proves that I'm not! Baby Sideburns is hilarious and crude and I loved every minute of this book. I laughed out loud many many times. Thank you Karen for having the balls to tell it like it is no matter how disgusting, horrifying or mortifying it is! You have a forever fan in me.

Funny book!

6 Reasons Why You Need to Buy I Heart My Little A-Holes Right Now:1. When you were younger, you totally had a thing for the bad boys, the ones that felt dangerous and your parents didn't approve of. Now you're a respectable, tax-paying adult that can barely stay awake for the 10 O'Clock News. Karen fills that need for danger - but won't get you pregnant. She'll make you clutch your pearls and gasp in shock, then giggle 'til you tinkle in your granny panties. Reading her words is like telling your mom you're going out with sweet Johnny Blue from down the street, then changing into your slutty clothes in the woods and hopping on the back of Spike Badass' unregistered motorcycle to go use your fake IDs somewhere really dark and smokey. Vroom vroom!2. She has real decisions to make with her kids, just like the rest of us. How she makes those decisions is relatable and snortingly funny.3. Between essays, she peppers in quick conversations with her kids or husband, deep contemplations about topics such as love and revenge, and important Notes to Self (my personal favorite is the one about Grandma & the web cam).4. When she explains what she hates and why she hates it, there is no disagreeing with her logic.5. She helps you streamline your shopping. For example, if you're going to buy fancy bedding, you should buy "a set with a lovely brown amoeba pattern all over it so the shit stains blend in." Why isn't this on the Babies R' Us Registry Tip list?!? I simply don't understand.6. From birth control to Girl Scout Cookies, assembling a breast pump to Mother's Day Gifts we really want, and - of course - poop, Karen covers it all with her potty-mouthed frankness that'll make you blush, laugh, and nod your head in agreement.Karen Alpert proves that you can be a girl with heart and a completely inappropriate sense of humor. She writes fearlessly for those parents out there that need to know they aren't alone. The reason I Heart My Little A-Holes will be a success is because she does, in fact, love her kids more than anything, a truth that shines between each roll of her eyes or pleading for them to pretty please just go back to bed before Mommy runs away.

this is another blog-to-book, & it shows. an awful lot of this book seemed to be lifted directly from the blog & published as-is, no editing whatsoever. including references to the fact that it was written to a blog, remarks about comments, etc. ordinarily i HATE this. but i will make an exception here because a) i'd never read the blog, so all the material was new to me, & b) it was legitimately funny. i actually laughed out loud several times, & i am not a laughing-out-loud-at-books sort of person at all. i even read some passages out loud to jared because i thought they were so funny/relevant to our lives as parents of a 14-month-old. you can probably tell from the title that this is not a book for people who are offended by foul language or people treating parenting as something less than a journey through a field of rainbows atop a glittery unicorn. nor is it a book for people who are squeamish about poop. there's an entire chapter devoted to poop stories, which is fitting, as any parent will tell you that a good chunk of your life is devoted to taking care of someone else's poop. i'm pretty good about not talking about that aspect of parenting with my non-parent friends, but among other parents? forget it. it's all poop & secret confessions about how we let our babies sleep in their bouncy seats/swings/boppy pillows for six months straight. is stuff misspelled? yes. grammatical errors? yes. is there filler that inflates the page count artificially? yes. but this is still one of the best parenting humor books i have read.

I love this lady's approach to motherhood - raw, honest, and pee-your-pants funny, it serves as a not-so-gentle reminder that a sense of humor (not to mention a profanity laced internal monologue) is an essential survival skill when dealing with one's adorable little a-holes. I burned through it in a day and a half and shared vignettes with my mommy friends and co-workers, as well as sharing Baby Sideburns's Mother's Day wish list with hubby. I sooooooooo want the 'leave me the hell alone' coupons with no expiration date, and any mom who says she doesn't is either lying or heavily medicated.I'll be gifting copies of this book for Christmas and baby showers. It's that awesome!

I definitely laughed A LOT while reading this book! I really hope Baby Sideburns writes another book...asap ;)

I'm a childfree (by choice) and I haven't spent a lot of time around children (I've never ever changed a diaper ... and I'm okay with that). I recently read "I Want My Epidural Back: Adventures in Mediocre Parenting" by this author and enjoyed it so I thought I'd check this one out too.The author is 40ish, married and has two young children. The book covers a lot of topics and the chapters are:* Bundle of joy, my a$$, more like bundle of Hell* I heart my little a-holes* Don't read this section while you're eating chocolate* Another holiday? Are you f'ing kidding me?* The truth, the whole truth and none of the bullsh!t you see on Pinterest* A really short chapter about Girl Scout cookies because they are so f'ing awesome they deserve their own chapter* Disney and Caillou and other annoying crap I want to crap on* Annnnd this is what my life has turned into. Awesome.* Yo Rug Rats, you owe me $26,000 for plastic surgeryI enjoyed the writing style and found it very conversational. The author shares her personal experiences of being a wife and raising her children and includes pictures. I think she would be a hoot to hang out with and have a glass of wine (or two or three) with. As a head's up, there is swearing and adult subject matter.If you are looking for a serious book about being a mother and wife, this isn't it. If you are looking for a book you can relate to as a "real" mom and wife, you should check it out ... she exaggerates so please don't take it too seriously.Blog review post: http://www.teenaintoronto.com/2018/05...

She's crude, foul language and a mother of two. As a crude, foul languaged mother of two I find her hysterical. She swears a lot but as she puts it, she writes a lot of swears because she can't say them anymore. I find her to be hysterical and horrifying all at the same time- kind of like motherhood of two...

If I could give more stars I would, funniest book I've read in a long time. Just loved every minute reading it.

Oh my lanta this book is HILARIOUS!! I laughed the whole way through, not only because of Alpert’s humor but also because it’s all sooooo TRUE!!! It’s the real, raw, dirty truth about motherhood that no one talks about because they’re too busy posting their picture-perfect lives on social media (and just for the record… totally GUILTY 🙋🏻‍♀️ over here)!I think this book is the true “What to expect…” parenting book.

Hilarious!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! A true take on parenting. It’s been a while since I’ve experienced some of these things because her memories were from when her kids were younger but I honestly still remember them vividly! I would have LOVED to read this book 6-7 years ago, but I’m glad I got to experience it now. I laughed out loud. I love her honesty, sarcasm and humor. If I met her in real life, I know we would instantly be best friends!
