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
Book Hero Magic summarised reviews for this book. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! HOW HAS THIS BEEN REVIEWED?
You Have to Fking Eat by Adam Mansbach is widely appreciated for its humour and relatability among parents dealing with picky eaters. Reviewers note its ability to provide comic relief to tired parents, delivering both laughs and a sense of camaraderie in the shared parenting struggle. Its candid language and clever take on a universal parenting challenge make it a hit, though it’s clearly intended for adult audiences.
