About the Book

“Probably one of the funniest books I have ever read, and I laughed myself silly…”

Parenting advice overload got you down? Relax! In this nearly fact-free book, Judy will apply lessons learned in the trenches as a mother of four kids, two hamsters, and one dog. She’ll teach you how to hide successfully from the PTA, why pet goldfish are a very, very bad idea, and why triple hot fudge sundaes are required for a mom’s mental health. This classic humor book has got moms and dads laughing about overzealous parents at Little League games, cheap imported toys that beep at 2:00 a.m., and bizarre pediatric ailments that make children too sick to go to school, including “itchy right eyebrow” and “fat hair.”

“Judy Gruen’s book is probably one of the funniest books I have ever read, and I laughed myself silly over the chapter ‘Why Guar Gum is Really a Vegetable’. This book is for every woman who has ever experienced morning sickness, endured screaming toddlers in a supermarket and/or have fallen victim to a Stupid Parent Trick by precocious progeny. Judy has been there, done that and written a hilarious book about it. You’ll love it!”
