I saw it online (managed to find the whole thing online somehow). I loved it!

For those mommas with perfect children, please don't read it. You wouldn't understand...

So funny, I laughed until I cried. Funny because it's true. People who say they haven't had those thoughts or ones very, very similar are liars.

I bought a copy and am saving it to give to my grandchildren if I ever have any. I can recall actually telling my daughter when she was little, "Just go the fuc to sleep already!"

As soon as my daughter goes to sleep I will be trying to find the video of it! LOL! Sounds great!

Edited: I totally just down loaded it. I turned the volume way down and listened while I am also listening to my daughter...who is in her bed (I am in the living room) and instead of sleeping is talking to herself about what she did today. LOL Oh...the irony.

I have seen it in different places, but have not read it... but would like to! I know its not a child's book, but from the passages I have read it sounds like it would be right up my alley on my sense of humor.

I couldn't believe someone wrote a book with my private mental mantra. And Samuel Jackson reads it righteously.

My husband and I loved it. What's truly in mind when you are dead tired and your kids can make bedtime more stressful than the morning routine. Our kids are good about it but every now and then, they are entitled to a rough night. I heard the author is writing a clean version that parents can read to kids. Good stuff.

I find this book hysterical. I heard about it before it was released and then listened to it with Samuel L Jackson reading it and couldn't stop laughing. While I don't usually condone that type of language in general and was momentarily offended but it at first (I though it was a serious children's book) I find that after a long day of dealing with children that don't want to behave and have been driving me nuts that this book helps release some tension.

I also love the illustrations. The scene where they finally get to watch a movie, and Mom is asleep under the baby blanket is priceless, as are all of the other illustrations! Love this book!

It's only funny because you WOULDN'T say it out loud.

Also love A - Z book by Shel Silverstein. Same humor, I'm guessing.

Going to look for it now. :)
