Really funny, and I agreed with almost everything he said. Gave me some different ideas about home schooling that I'll have to think over.

I read this on a flight while sitting next to a woman doing bible study. We didn't talk much.

I like having a gay uncle looking over my shoulder and rolling his eyes at my parenting mishaps. This is really the only "parenting" manual that seems worth buying.

Finally! This has sat on my night stand for four months. It was my backup book, for when I'd read my main book enough for the day, but then I would fall asleep before I could read a page or two (having a kid will do that!). So I finally made this my main book.

Good, funny, practical advice from a childcare expert. A good way to remind parents to get their heads out of their asses! I highlighted the most helpful bits for the spouse.

Funny, insightful, although at times the mocking/arrogant tone made me want to stop reading. I kept reading, however, because I thought his observations and advice spot on.

I really enjoyed this. Good look at parenting/parents from the outside. I have a 2 year old and it was good to hear some real advice on dealing with tantrums.

I don't have kids but I bought and read this book anyway. It's hilarious and smart according to my friends who have read this book, the advice is good too.
