About this ebook

At last, the book that answers the question on every parent’s mind: Why does my toddler hate me?
 
Okay, it’s not really hate. It’s just that a little psychopath who walks through life 100% convinced that he or she is the center of the universe does not care that you have a heart, a mind, or a soul. You are simply a skin-covered robot tall enough to reach the candy on top of the fridge. And clean up the rage-vomit when you make the fatal mistake of cutting off the crust on your toddler’s toast. (Or not cutting it off—seriously, you can’t win.)

Includes:

• The theory of toddler evolution 
• Mealtime (AKA Hell)
• Your unraveling life
• And how not to die inside 

Ratings and reviews

Hello, everyone. I was searching for toddlers playrooms and somehow I ended up here. I had the curiosity to listen to this satirical guide to toddler hood for a few minutes. Apparently, it offers some comic relief for parents who are overwhelmed about parenthood and having to deal with difficult kids and is got humor too. However, I must say that the title of the book is insulting to toddlers! Dear author, I am assuming that your toddlers must have made your life a nightmare so that is why you decided to choose this title for the book'.If you wanted to promote a hilarious book, you should have chosen a totally different name such as ,,Spoiled brats''. The term ,,toddlers are a**holes is exaggerated.A**hole is a term that should be addressed only to adults not to toddlers. Also I must add that a**wholes are only the parents who don't give a damn about their toddlers because they have all sorts of unresolved adult issues. Sincerely, The mother of an amazing 16 months year old toddler!

This book relates to my everyday life with my toddler. She's 2 and has a learning disability and it's so hard to control her. I know as a parent that toddlers only want things done their way. I honestly can say that this book is totally right when it comes to some children. Was such a great read and i look forward to reading more of the author's books.

Omg I just finished this book. I’m the single mom of Avery strong willed stubborn 2 year old I adore but this book DEFINITELY was something I needed to read. It puts so much hilarious, and I he’s really hilarious humor into my life that I needed so much. I tend to be so hard on myself and we all need to laugh at ourselves and our crazy lives sometimes. I was laughing so hard at times that I was hyperventilating and crying at the same time. This was not only brilliantly written it was honest and just the thing real people should read. Not those fake ones that have nannies and aren’t with their kids 24/7. I have so much respect for myself and all the parents out there doing their best to raise good kids. Honest good kids. And to remember to keep humor in our lives is sooooooooo important. It’s the best feeling our brains can achieve. Just to laugh. Thank you for this gift.
