Publisher's summary

Toddler a**holery is a normal part of human development - not unlike puberty, except this stage involves throwing food on the floor and taking swings at people who pay your way in life. For parents of toddlers, it's a "you better laugh so you don't cry" period.

Bunmi Laditan's hilarious, satirical guide to toddlerhood offers parents instant (and very welcome) comic relief - along with the very good news that It's Not Your Fault. Chapters cover the cost of raising a toddler, feeding your toddler, potty training, tantrums, how to manage the holidays, and "how not to die inside". Parents will see themselves in the very funny sections on taking your toddler to restaurants ("One parent will spend their time walking your toddler around the restaurant and outside like a cocker spaniel, while the other, luckier parent will eat alone."), things you thought you'd never say that you now say as a parent of a toddler ("I can tell you're pooping because your eyes are watering."), and how to order pizza ("Spend $40 on pizza delivery. Listen to your toddler cry for 30 minutes about how the pizza is all wrong. Watch your toddler take a small bite of crust. Google 'can anger give you a heart attack?' Start the bedtime routine.").

Laditan's wildly funny voice has attracted hundreds of thousands of fans of Honest Toddler on social media; here she speaks parent to tired parent, easing the pains and challenges of raising toddlers with a hefty dose of adult humor and wit.

laugh out loud

This book gave a funny realistic interpretation of raising a toddler and whereas not everything applied to me I appreciate that I'm not the only mommy who feels overwhelmed at times.

if you need a good laugh

Lots of relatable hilarious moments! however the satire got a little much by the end, as there was no break.

Loved This Audio

This audio was funny and true. Experiences were very true to life daily events. As a grand parent i can relate.

F…..ing hilarious

So I rarely give reviews, I just don’t have the time, but this book is hilarious!! I have a four year old bonus child and my husband and I are trying for our own together. That being said, I am a toddler parent and a working women. ANYONE should read this book; to lighten up, have a laugh, or get prospective. Slowish start…but HELL OF A BOOK with a fabulous commentator. I just laughed SUPER out loud in the gym while on the elliptical! READ IT!
Ps-even my man’s man sexy husband is reading it!

Laughed so hard I cried

Thank you felt a huge weight lifting off my shoulders when listening to this book. My kid entered the terrible two phase around 18mths. Still have a ways to go with her in this phase so it’s been rough. Good to have a laugh it’s been awhile now….much needed!!!

read it! listen to it!

brilliant, hilarious and worth every penny. we laughed so hard, while our toddler yelled " I don't like this turn it off"

I Can Relate!!

If you're looking for something that is going to teach you how to raise a toddler this may not be the book for you! If you're easily offended by profanity, alcohol, and the truth, well this book may not be for you either! I enjoyed listening to this book and got a good laugh from it! So many real life situations I can definitely relate to, and is nice to know I'm not the only one out there raising a crazy toddler. If you're looking for a book that will give confirmation that not all toddlers are "Prim & Proper" and that yours in particular isnt the only one out there being an "Asshole" and that you are doing the best that you can and there are lots of people out there going through the same struggles you are, and that it is ok to step back and laugh at all the craziness your toddler(s) bring to your day to day life..well then, this is the book for you! But remember this book does have profanity, mentions of alcohol and speaks the truth, if you're easily offended by any of those don't even waste your time!

So funny and very entertaining.

Seriously the funniest, most down to earth kid book over read! Definitely some colorful language, but everything was to the point and correct. A book that will make you feel like you're not alone in the terror toddler stage.

good medicine

This book was truth! Funniest thing I’ve ever read! I sent it to all moms I know!

The most relatable book you’ll ever hear

It will have you thinking “I feel seen” at least once every couple minutes. Buckle up for a shitload of profanity, but this kind of book kind of requires it for extra impact.

It’s definitely worth a listen. I thought I might learn something but didn’t really, and that’s totally fine. This is definitely more of a comedy experience and a break from feeling like I need to listen to something educational and productive. It felt more like a really fun podcast written by my own brain.

Just don’t expect to actually learn anything practical.. whenever there was a hint of advice, the sarcastic layer made it unclear as to whether it was really advice or just part of the joke. Have fun!
