Sh*t My Kids Ruined: An A-Z Celebration of Kid-Destruction
Quite possibly the best birth control on the market, Sh*t My Kids Ruined is a pictorial tribute to the filthy, distasteful, gross, and painful moments of parenthood, and the children who make it all possible.
Kids: they are the light of your life—and the enemy of all things fragile, intact, and clean. But why cry over spilt milk . . . or paint . . . or the entire contents...more

birth control for everyone!!!!
this is my new favorite book. science has proven that children are just tiny demons who have transgressed in the underworld and have been sent to earth for punishment. and they respond to this by being engines of destruction while they are here. i mean - sheesh - dumping glitter in the washing machine, pepper in the fishbowl, drawing penises on the - wait, okay, some of these things i have done so that makes them funny, but a lot of it is just so wrong!! this captio...more

You don't know how relieved I was to see that other people's kids wreak havoc at home too. I'm not the only parent who doesn't always adequately supervise her destructive children!!! I also took great glee in making my husband look at some of the pictures. He would moan that he couldn't bear to look at another picture of child-generated chaos, but then he would laugh. Yes, misery loves company, and so we laugh at the pictures of other parents' pain. I also appreciated the parenting and cleaning...more
Absolutely hysterical!! This book is full of pictures and quotes of all of those little "oops" moments in a parent's life. No parent is perfect and no child an angel 100% of the time. It only takes turning your back for 30 seconds to learn the destruction of one child "disaster on foot" might be better.
If you are a parent, you could for sure relate to the pain and hysteria these families were feeling as they discovered these trademark moments in their child's life. If you are not yet a parent t...more

An entertaining coffee table book. I fear that, as a parent of two young children, I could relate to more than one instance of destruction depicted within its pages. I had a good laugh here and there, and I think that it’s appropriately advertised as birth control. And I realize it’s sort of cheating to count this toward my yearly reading challenge. And, since I read the little volume while standing at a display table in Borders, it is also, my husband would assure me, stealing.
I was laughing so hard, my husband had to come see what was going on. I don't know if it was funny because it brought back memories, or because I was glad none of those were my kids. Although, admittedly we had our share of mishaps.
And...I have to confess to hoping that our own children have at least some of the same sort of stuff happen to them, that they caused to happen to us.
Ms. Brophy, thanks, I needed a laugh like that!

This book was freaking hilarious, I was laughing my ass off!! For those of us who have kids, we can completely relate. For those of you who don't have kids, check this book out first, you might reconsider! The pictures were great as well as the hints and quotes scattered throughout. I thank God everyday my daughter hasn't been this naughty! I happened to get this copy first from the library, so the smell of a fresh, new book and lots of laughs this definitely gets the full 5 stars!
VERY quick read, if you can call it a read. Besides the forward and acknowledgments it was basically like reading the blog (pictures with captions and parent tips thrown into the mix). Having said all of that, I laughed my ass off. It was a nice easy break from some of the deep stuff I have been reading.
You don't really read this one, it has an introduction and then pictures with captions and other random quotes. Excellent for a laugh, but at the same time, these are somber warnings for new or expectant parents. In fact, this should be required reading at the hospital.
Anyone who has kids or has ever been a care-take of children (nannies, babysitters, teachers, etc.) will groan and laugh at the destruction in this book. For those so far ignorant and unsure if they want children, this book may well serve as birth control.
Totally hilarious and scary at the same time. If you have had kids you will relate to the pictures in this book of the mayhem that children can cause in just a few minutes. If you haven't had kids yet, you may decide not to if you read this. ;-)
This is the best form of birth control I've ever encountered. I think my personal favorites are "the Beast" and the one where the kids painted the pony. The website (and related sites - Shit My Pets Ruined, etc.) are just as good.
Some good friends gave me this book for my birthday. I read it in one sitting, lots of fun pictures and "Oh no!"s coming from me while I read. Also lots of judgment for apparently negligent parents! ha!
absolutely hilarious, found myself laughing at almost every page. At the same time utterly terrifying as I have a 9 month old just learning to crawl. Oh, the things to look forward to!
This book is pretty funny. A good mindless flip through book.
I recommed going to the website as well, where there is now links for shit my husband/pet/wife/i ruined.

I laughed my ass off!! My children have done most of this stuff so I'm happy to know I'm not alone out there!!! I think every parent and parent to be should read!
This was an impulse purchase, I don't often buy books new. But there are lots of photos of destructive twin toddlers in here. It also comes from a website.
Totally hilarious! Iread the e-book in an hour. The format made me feel like I was simply searching web pages. Light, and laugh out loud funny.
Too cute! Mayhem from A to Z! Tongue in cheek, it's a giggle for everyone who's ever baby sat, taught, had kids, or is thinking about having kids.
If you have kids, this book might make you feel better. If you don't have kids, this book will definitely make you feel better.

LMAO too funny, read this today at Borders while the kids were looking at books...it brought back a lot of memories hehe
Super funny, although it makes me dread the "mobile years" just a little. ;) Thanks for the pass-along, Gillian!
Not quite as hilarious as I had hoped - maybe I am just jaded from all my years of small-child related disasters. :)
This book was GREAT. And I thought my kids ruined lots of shit! Makes me feel a little better about my life.
I haven't laughed this hard in a long time. Maybe ever! I could relate to at least 3 of these pictures.
A quickie read, with fun commentary in the margins. A fun reminder of the insanity that can ensue in mere seconds.
Laugh out loud funny...loved it. Available as an ebook on Overdrive through your library.
Made me feel better about the time Beans wrote "Chair" in pen on my 8 hour old leather couch.
A funny, quick read (that also managed to be a little bit terrifying to a mom of a baby).
One of life's all-time great reads! (And thanks for the autograph, Julie!!)
This is a quick read and the photos will make you laugh outloud.
