Following the success of Go the F**k to Sleep, Confessions of a Scary Mommy, and Ketchup Is a Vegetable, a collection of funny, warm, and charmingly profane tales from the frontlines of parenthood by the author of the popular Baby Sideburns blog.

Once upon a time you and your partner had a perfect life: dinners out, weekend mornings cuddling in bed, brunch with friends. Then you gave birth to a poop machine (or two). Now, it's all about the pediatrician, breast pumps, princess dresses, and minivans. And discovering that your pride and joy is actually a little A-hole.

When your son wakes you up at 3:00 A.M. because he wants to watch Caillou, he's an a-hole. When your daughter outlines every corner of your living room with a purple crayon, she's an a-hole. When your rug rats purposely paint the kitchen ceiling with their smoothies, they're a-holes. At times like these, it's only natural to want to kill them (or yourself). But it's against the law (and there's the suicide hotline). Plus, there's that whole loving them more than anything in the whole world thing.

In I Heart My Little A-Holes, Karen Alpert shares hilarious stories, lists, and deep thoughts on the joys and horrors of raising children. Accompanied by cheery illustrations and photos I Heart My Little A-Holes will make you laugh so hard you'll wish you were wearing a diaper.

Hilariously accurate! I loved this book and laughed out loud constantly. Definitely not for the easily offended but, at least in my case, highly relatable. A quick, funny read. ( )

I must confess that I have never read the blog by this author, nor have I read any other works published by her. Upon saying that I have to admit that I had a blast reading her book and wound up sharing it with my spouse. I realize that this book is not for everyone and can be seen as a bit intense with the foul language. However, I would argue that is what gave the book its character and made the author’s experiences more believable. Being a parent to three children who are all on the ADHD spectrum sometimes makes us feel isolated and very frustrated. It is nice to see that others secretly share those hidden feelings that we are not going to utter out loud. Like the author, my kids are also the loud and hyper children that seem to get into everything. I seem to be the one parent that is always NOT bragging about how special my kids are today. I am just grateful they are not trying to get into something or fighting with one another again.

The author has a unique way of writing, which was a little refreshing for me. I found it fun and very easy to read. The constant need to refer to poop was a little much, but I get it. If you are a parent of a hyper kid like me than you will love the book. I think most parents would enjoy this book. However, if you are someone who is easily offended, than you might want to skip this one. There is a lot of vulgar references and cursing in the story. It fits just fine, but some people might not like it. I would recommend this book in a heartbeat to a dozen other people that I know. I think that many people would relate to it. ( )

Karen is a hilarious mother sharing her stories of raising her children, being a wife and running a household. With in your face comedy of life. This book is sure to please those who have those moements from I just want to pee alone to.... I need a vacation from my life.

These stories are sure to make you laugh, and I mean laugh till you cry or pee your pants depending on the type of laugher you are. I am rereading this book outloud to my husband as both being parents we get a kick out of the stories and moments in this book.

You will not be disappointed. ( )
