Go the F#@% to Sleep!

Am I a bad parent for LOVING this?

From the Wall Street Journal's Speakeasy blog:
"Samuel Jackson Reads ‘Go the (Blank) to Sleep’"

Notice that you can get an audio version of this "for free, for now." I did, and it is GREAT!

Here's an article on the book, also from the Wall Street Journal:
"From Bedtime Battles to Bestseller" by Michelle Gerdes
http://blogs.wsj.com/juggle/2011/05/19/from-bedtime-battles-to-bestseller/

"When I learn that a friend is expecting his or her first child, after the big hug and congratulations, I always say, 'Let me know if you want the truth about parenting, or if you’d rather the nicey-nice version.' I do this because I feel that no one was honest with me about how difficult parenting was, and I wish someone had been. That’s why I found the soon-to-be-published book by Adam Mansbach, 'Go the F– to Sleep,' so wonderfully refreshing."

"Thank you, Adam Mansbach, for telling parents the truth."

Amen to that!


And an article from NPR:
"'Go The [Expletive] To Sleep': A Salvo For Tired Parents" by Eyder Peralta
http://www.npr.org/blogs/thetwo-way/2011/05/19/136441363/go-the-expletive-to-sleep-a-salvo-for-tired-parents?ps=cprs

"Of course, the book has received criticism, especially from parents who say they love their children so much, they enjoy every second with them — even when they're struggling to go to sleep. To that Mansbach responds with typical flair: 'They're full of [expletive],' he said."


And finally the link to the book on Amazon, of course:
