Eh, it was good for a few laughs, but not something I'd actually want to buy.

This was definitely an entertaining book. Written to mock every other pregnancy book, I found the sarcasm quite amusing.

If you are expecting, planning to have a baby, or already have one I highly recommend this. It's a great satirical pregnancy and child care book. This was a gift from a friend of mine who knows I've been trying for a year and could use a little humor in my life.

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! It's a bit gross of course but oh man, is it funny. I even read parts to my little sister who hates talk about babies and pregnancy. Seriously funny.

Funny faux parenting guide, but it gets a little old after awhile.

Too vulgar for me. But I think Table 16.1, "How to Fix the Dumb Stuff You Said," is hilarious.
Here's one:
What you said: "Man, I am so tired."
Quick, backpedal: "And I haven't been working a tenth as hard as you have. You're amazing, did you know that?"
What you should have said: "Those boots you liked on Zappos.com -- let's order them. No, I will. You've done enough."
Damage control: Buy the boots, then make dinner.

Another one:
What you said: "How come I don't have any clean socks?"
Quick, backpedal: " . . . is what I keep asking myself, because after all maintaining my wardrobe is my responsibility. . . I love you.
What you should have said: "Laundry time! Do you want me to hand-wash your intimates?
Damage control: Do the laundry and never say the word "socks" again in the house.

Hysterical to the point of laughing out loud at times. I'd recommend this to any parent-to-be.

In part because I was panicking at the time, I found this to be the funniest book I have ever read.

The vulgarity doesn't bother me - this book is SO over the top that it lost my attention and I basically just skimmed the whole thing. I like a humorous book to break up the 'serious' pregnancy books I've been reading, but I didn't have the attention for this one. They were trying WAY too hard.

Very funny and strangely enough pretty informative. You could see the kernel of truth behind most of their rants.
