My husband and I were just looking at this on amazon last night and debating ordering it for our 5 week old :) This child NEVER sleeps.
omg, it's the funniest thing. want to get it for every baby shower! :)
OMG that cracks me up. Especially since my 11 month old was up ALL night long.
You said it - this is totally going into heavy baby shower rotation, together with my old mainstay - "Oh Crap - I'm having a Baby" http://www.amazon.com/Oh-Crap-Im-Having-Baby/dp/1601672187/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1304605954&sr=1-1 (also pants-wettingly funny). Thanks for sharing!
Holy cow--That is hilarious! Hahaha---What a great gift for my sister-in-law--so funny. She is pregnant with her 4th. You think she knows what sleep is?
HAHA!! This looks awesome.
I really hope this would give way to baby's first phrase: "f*cking naps"

AHAAHAAAAHAAA! If only all parenting books were this honest.
My mom told me about this!!
Ha. I nearly spat out coffee onto keyboard. Very funny.
Outstanding.

LOL'd. So hard. I love it and I'm not even a mommy.
That is so funny! I need to get this book for my little niece:) Kisses
ahhh, naps!!! the bane of my existence :)
Hahaha! INCREDIBLE!
Haha... One of my friends told me about this last week!! It sounds hysterical!
This is the best thing I've seen in a long time!! I need to get one of these for every mommy to be I know, too funny!
Really. Freaking. Funny.
But not AS funny when the sentiment still applies to your 4.5 and 2.5 year old.
also, so hilarious (and telling!) that the book doesn't come out until october, but is already ranked #45 on amazon!!
I love this... I babysat for an almost-two year old last Friday night. His mom told me the BEST way to get him to sleep was to read Goodnight Moon. It actually worked! I read it six or eight times in a row, and he finally conked out to those three bears sitting in chairs, the bowl of mush, the old lady whispering hush. Ha.
Never has one book summed up so well what every parent feels in the final waning moments of bedtime.
Adorable! I need to get this for my sister who is due any day now!
hahaaha that's awesome!
It's Maternity Month at A Taste of T
Hilarious. And I love that it's 'frequently bought together' with Tina Fey's Bossypants!:-D
This is a great present for some exhausted parents!! Shows you're not alone!
kate--totally! and those moments in the middle of the night...or at the crack of dawn... :)
I totally need to get this for my sis-in-law, who just had her second. Hilarious!
LOL i love this!!!!!!!
omg hilarious!
On Berkeley and Oakland - (not sure if you've left yet...)
my favorite places to eat:
Camino
Pizzaiolo
Dona Tomas
Burma Superstar
places to shop:
fourth street - erica tanov, the gardner...
college ave in oakland - atomic garden
to do w/ kids:
adventure playground (though yours is too young...but cool to check out anyway, on the berkeley marina and one of those "only in berkeley" places)
cement slides at cordinices park across from rose garden in berkeley
hike in tilden park or skyline trail or anywhere in the oakland/berk hills
bike or run around lake merritt. or rent a sailboat
kayak on the estuary at jack london square in oakland
enjoy!
hilarious! need this.
I'm getting pregnant just so someone can buy me this book. The title alone is brilliant!
www.fitandhungry.com
Hehe! Awesome!
Marla Frazee's "The Boss Baby" is another good "kids book," although much milder than this by comparison (and also really for kids!)!
simply the best
I'm 23 and when i feel sad I read children's books it helps me relax :))

So excellent.
This one's a good chaser to Goodnight Moon.
LOL! this just made me laugh out loud...and i can't say this thought doesn't cross my mind regularly :)
i could have used this last night!
Goodnight Moon for generation "F*ck"?
This is great, my cousin just had her first baby and I am highly contemplating getting this for her!
Okay I visit here frequently but never comment, had to tell you tho that this frickin cracked me up!! Brilliant....
Loving this. Perfect chrimbo pres for a few of my friends!
I think this is awful. Do all of you parents really want your kids talking like that? I am no prude, but this just blows me away. Joanna, I LOVE your blog, but I will be the first to say that this just makes me sad.
Oh dear...my 6 year old still wakes up in the middle of the night wondering what she'll wear next day or just because she wants to have a chat with me (always with me). Of course she cries "mom" and hubby never notices the screams. To put it in her own words, "sleeping is a waste of time, because all you can do while you're at it is...sleep! and there are so many other (way more interesting) things to do....".
Of course, it is fantastic to look at your kid smiling at you with bright eyes...but not so fantastic when it's 2 in the morning!!!!
Ha! Love it.
I LOLd.
hilarious.

Nowwww I know what to give all my pregnant friends... and hope that someone gives me when that time comes--we're uncertain when. Sometimes we think we should wait, sometimes we're ready.
I guess I don't really get it.
I noticed the dearth of comments on this post (comparatively) and wonder if others feel the same way. Usually there are so many comments, and from such diverse perspectives. I really enjoy Cup of Jo and that it is thoughtful and culls such a variety of readers who share their comments.
As always, thanks for sharing something interesting and thought-provoking! (Though the colored jeans for men post got a much more animated conversation going at our house last night than this book did!)
I saw this last week, when a single friend of mine sent me a youtube link. It is Samuel L. Jackson reading this book! Hilarious!!
Thank you for this article, really useful material.
It is indeed so funny and good, every parent should have it.
I recommend hiding it, though. My friend's first grader read it at someone's house and got in big trouble when she taught the f-word to all her friends at school. Whoops!!
