You Have to F**king Eat

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

From the author of the international bestseller Go the Fuck to Sleep comes a book about the other great parental frustration—getting your little angel to eat something that even vaguely resembles a normal meal.

Profane, loving, and deeply cathartic, You Have to Fucking Eat breaks the code of child-rearing silence, giving mums and dads—new, old and expectant—a much-needed chance to laugh about a universal problem. You probably shouldn't read it to your children.

Praise for Go the Fuck to Sleep:

'The language? WTF! This hilarious, politically incorrect book is totally correct about the feelings of sleepless, brain-dead parents.' - Mem Fox

'A new bible for weary parents.' - New York Times

'Nothing has driven home a certain truth about my generation, which is approaching the apex of its childbearing years, quite like this deranged book.' - New Yorker

Its candid language and clever take on a universal parenting challenge make it a hit, though it’s clearly intended for adult audiences.
