When you buy a book titled, "Potty Training Sucks...," the boldness of that title tends to give you the impression that the author feels your pain...that she's a sympathizer and gets where you are coming from - the frustration, the daily power struggles, the endless piles of soiled pants and sheets...and all those desperation bribes that have done nothing more than turn your tike into a skilled embezzler. You might even assume that the book was written with the intent of being your salvation - o...more
Very easy and fluffy. Read in one evening. I think this was a good choice for the first book in my "information gathering" for the upcoming baby stage. Like other reviews have said, not a lot of specifics in this book. It did confirm though, that I think we are at least several months away from really starting.
I really enjoyed this book. It was very entertaining, probably more entertaining then instructional. It takes all the pressure off that many people associate with potty training...very laid back & fun read! It took away a lot anxiety for this next milestone.
This book is very funny.. that's about it.. I didn't glean any particular wisdom but the author is totally hilarious. I skimmed the book and she gave me some great laughs. She seems like someone I'd hang around!
And so did this book, it was funny but not one nugget of useful information, ugh.
Definately has some helpful advice in it, but is mostly a humerous and lighthearted book that really does feel my "potty training pain"
Very funny, but not one certain potty training strategy. More of a review of a variety of potty training ideas and theories.

I used to write for TV but when I became pregnant, I didn't want to work the long hours anymore. Besides, once I realized that pregnancy sucks, it gave me the perfect fodder for my first book entitled, "Pregnancy Sucks: What to do When Your Miracle Makes you Miserable". That led to ten other books in the Sucks series, plus my new book, "The Stay-at-Home Martyr".
