Not having kids myself, I don't know much about babies and don't read parenting books, but this is probably one of the most unsentimental ever written. The author loves and cares for his infant daughter while cheerfully admitting she's a "ten-pound sack of butter and sticks." I found the book very amusing, chuckled many times and even laughed out loud a few times. It's not only parents who will love this. ( ) I picked up this book a few years ago, and I finally got around to reading it while my newborn son slept. I will say that for most people, this is not something that would be funny or even enjoyable to read. But I found it to be hilarious! I know I have the sense of humor of a 12 year old boy... and I know that's not always a good thing. But through all of Mr. Vogel's rantings on raising a baby, he did have a few good points that were pretty valid in the world of parenting. Like, you should never bore other people with home videos of your kids.. I know I don't want to watch the ones of my friends kids, and have been forced to watch video of the most mundane things. And the rule of 3 pictures of your kid at any given time... people always ask to see pictures, but they don't want to look at 50 pics... I like the 3 picture rule. Makes it easy and painless for you and the other adult who is not related to you or your child. So, this book is really not for everyone, or I would even say for most people... honestly I think that there are a few that would enjoy this not so cuddly view on the first year of a new baby's life, but most would just be offended and hate it. The Poo Bomb by Jeff Vogel isn't going to win any book awards, let alone any parenting book awards. What it is is a funny sarcastic take on parenting that will either have you rolling on the floor laughing, or picking up the phone to call Child Services to take this guy's kid away. Having previously read much of the book on his web site before he was a big author, I didn't find a whole lot new in the book, but it was still entertaining. You can still read the archives on his web site if you look hard enough, but if you're really that interested, go ahead and buy the book. It's funny. aucune critique | ajouter une critique
Author Jeff Vogel did not go into parenthood with any delusions. He knew that he would love his daughter, and that was terrifying. What if he screwed up? And he knew that life with a baby would be different, that it would be filled with an endless stream of filthy diapers, unexplained wailing, and sleepless nights. Not to mention no sex. The parenting books painted a picture of smart, communicative babies and mindless, limitless joy, but he knew they were lying to him. So he wrote his own book. The Poo Bomb: True Tales of Parental Terror recounts, in a no-punches-pulled style, the first year of life of Cordelia, Jeff's freshly hatched, gooey human girl. The first year of parenthood isn't about joy or fulfillment. It is about menial labor, wiping up human waste, and marking time until the kid is old enough to run and play and thank you for its life. Jeff chronicles the journey through the morass of year one week by week. Rich with irreverent honesty and humor, The Poo Bomb is the reality show of parenting books: It reflects what most parents have sometimes guiltily felt about their not-so-delightful bundles of joy.
