You Have to Fucking Eat
by
From the author of the international bestseller Go the Fuck to Sleep comes a long-awaited sequel 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 moms and dads new, old, grand-, and

Sometimes I wish I had children, so I can corrupt their little minds. Imagine the evil little progenies I could bring up, especially when I've tainted them with profanity from the beginning with passages such as these?

The first time my son said 'Fuck' he was about three and we were at a very posh cocktail party full of politicians given by his snottiest auntie. Dora wanted me to help out serving stuff and I didn't want to do it. I told Daniel to tell his auntie that I was a bit busy right now. He apparently went up to her and said, Mummy says she's too fucking busy right now. He told someone else that he didn't like fucking meatballs. He said to an auntie with a very hairy chin that his mother said he didn't

If you don't have kids will you think this is funny?
Hard to say.
It's basically the companion to Go the Fuck to Sleep, which is a tongue-in-cheek bedtime story for parents who are dealing with young children.
Thankfully, all of mine are now old enough that I can actually just tell them to get the hell in bed and stay there...Or else.
I no longer have to screw around and be nice about it.
*insert evil laugh here*

Another hilarious story by Adam Mansbach. This one is very similar to Go the F*** to Sleep. Colorfully illustrated and a laugh out loud story.

Do you want to hear Walter White curse at a child? (And who wouldn’t?) Then you can download this from Audible for free now and listen to Bryan Cranston profanely urge a youngster to eat something just as Samuel L. Jackson once begged another kid to Go the Fuck to Sleep. It’s as funny as you’d expect it to be.

I know I’m super late to this party, but after spending Thanksgiving in a house occupied by a three year old, I realize there may be no better gift for parents of a toddler than You Have to Fucking Eat. It had been a long time since I’d dined with a three year old. You know what they eat? Frosting. Blue frosting. Not the cupcake, not the turkey that has cleverly been called “chicken” all day in a futile attempt to foil their little ...more

Απολαυστικό όπως ο προκάτοχός του. Αν μπορούσα να ταξιδέψω πίσω στο χρόνο, σίγουρα θα το έπαιρνα στη μάνα μου (ναι, υπήρξε περίοδος που δεν έτρωγα - ωραίες εποχές...).

The first book by this author is the pretty famous Go the F*ck to Sleep that was read by Samuel L. Jackson (who did a great job).
This second book is about children's eating habits (and other things like clothes) and brought to life by the unrivalled Stephen Fry.
I might have missed out on the illustrations (though I know some of them from Amazon's inside look) but the audio version was worth it as I believe it's even funnier this way.

I loved that the narrator is Bryan Cranston! Him cursing and just talking is wonderful. He’s the main reason why I picked up the book. The story reminded me so much of my times babysitting young kids. I can only imagine what it’s like for parents of picky eaters. Makes me feel I need to apologize to my parents lolz. That being said the story wasn’t the best but for a free audiobook it was worth it.

This very short little (4 minute) audio book is narrated by Bryan Cranston of Breaking Bad. He captures the true exasperation of a parent trying to get their young child to eat. You Have to Fucking Eat is hilarious and something most parents can relate to.
Definitely not for the little ones.

If you've already experienced Mansbach's hilarious 'Go The F--k To Sleep' then this is really just the same joke transposed to slightly different circumstances. For me, this second book was irresistible, though, as I'm a huge fan of Stephen Fry, and his narration is as delightful as you'd expect.

Here's the follow up to the hugely popular Go the Fuck to Sleep, or what I like to call the Hangover II of audio books. What made the first installments so funny was the fact that they were original. This one, much like that uninspired movie, simply rehashes the same old script, same old jokes. Hey, let’s just slap a new location (problem) on it, and call it good.
Granted, Sam Jackson's reading did add quite a bit to the first book. I mean just the thought of Mr. Mother Fucker himself reading to ...more

DISCLAIMER: This is a review of an audiobook.
Adam Mansbach’s poem “You Have to Fucking Eat” is a cathartic ode to so many parents who are so damn exhausted trying to make their little ones eat normal meals at normal times. I absolutely loved this grown-up poem because it is hilariously accurate and, even in its explicit version, it somehow still manages to sound cute. And the best part yet: it’s brilliantly narrated by Bryan Cranston, better known to many as Heisenberg from “Breaking Bad.” Hones ...more

Awesome. Mansbach knows kids, yes he does. This kind of thing brings back memories....
And Cranston as a narrator, excellent. Almost as funny as Samuel L. Jackson was in the first book.

This is as good as the first one; maybe even a teensy bit better. A lot of this is my life!
My favorite stanza:
You're not finished, and no, you can't go to school
In pajamas, a hat, and bare feet.
Whatever, put shoes on and bring me your plate,
My whole diet's the shit you won't eat. ...more

Particularmente não gosto de audiobooks quando os livros impressos são ilustrados, parece que fica faltando alguma coisa, mas tenho que confessar que a leitura dramática do Bryan Cranston compensou e muito qualquer coisa. Divertidíssimo.
I held no allusions that it would surpass its predecessor, or Samuel L Jackson's amazing narration, but it certainly held its own.

Ok, so when this book was offered to me through the Book Depository’s Book Review Programme, I have to admit that I was very curious. I had, of course, heard of the first book by the same author, Go the F**k to Sleep, and I jumped on the opportunity to grab a copy of the second book in the series, You Have to F**king Eat so I could see what the fuss is all about.

Now this was even better then Go the F*@% to Sleep! : ) I think because I related to it more and still battle with my youngest son about eating breakfast, eating healthy, and not waiting until 9:00 pm to decide he's hungry, etc. etc. : )

Basically the best parenting book of all time. A blessing to those of us silly enough to try and shovel food into a mini-human's pie-hole.
Sidenote- my daughter loves "reading" this for bedtime. I find it almost ironic and relish each reading with a vicious glee. I am also happy she doesnt quite grasp the letter "F" yet. ...more
