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

This book is amazing! My 2 year old has been testing my patience all day and in a desperate attempt to keep my sanity I thought I'd read a book. I'm only 3 pages in and have done nothing but laugh hysterically the whole time. I actually stopped reading just to write this review. I needed this and anyone with a toddler does too!

5.0 out of 5 stars Essential Reading for Parents of Toddlers to Keep You Sane!
Reviewed in the United States on March 31, 2016

I am a stay-at-home mom of three-year-old twins. Yes, you read that correctly. I spend all of my days with TWO three-year-olds. How am I still standing upright and functioning? Honestly, most days I have no clue. Don't get me wrong, I love my twins but I am not entirely convinced they aren't some sort of Tasmanian Devil/Irish banshee hybrid who can turn our house upside-down within milliseconds. I also used to be the sort of person who was so organized and never forgot anything and now I take my kids to the grocery store with my trusty shopping list in hand and afterwards, realize I forgot some items on my list. At that point, I'm too tired to take the kids out of the car to go back and purchase those items so off we go towards home. I thought the twos were bad and when they turned three I thought I was going to go crazy. It doesn't help that they have a built-in partner-in-crime and feed off of each other all the time. Seriously. ALL. THE. TIME. I really wondered how I was going to make it through so I started searching on Amazon for hilarious books for parents with toddlers and I came across this one. I read the synopsis, a couple reviews and decided I needed this book, stat.

After my sweet babies drifted off to dreamland for their daily nap, I picked up this book. Let me tell you, I couldn't stop reading it! The author is hilarious and I laughed so much I think I burned off the calories from the delicious chocolate dessert my husband thoughtfully brought home for me. I finished this within a couple hours and now, a couple hours after finishing it, my abs still hurt. But, on the bright side, I feel much better and less stressed because of how Bunmi Laditan has written this book. Everything she mentions in this book has truth to it but she lightens up the situations so parents realize they aren't alone and that it gets better. The saying goes "Laughter is the best medicine" and I feel this book really helps parents of toddlers who need some comic relief and honestly, the cost of this book is much cheaper than therapy.

In all seriousness, I really feel this book is a staple for all parents of toddlers but you also must have a sense of humor. If you are very serious and offended by profanity, this book isn't for you. However, if you are too tired to care about the language in a book and just want something that will have you laughing so you feel better, then by all means buy this book! This book is 167 pages long and measures 5 1/4 inches by 7 inches so it's a great size for stuffing in your purse for when you are out and about and need to lock yourself in a public restroom and have a few laughs. I love it so much that I've already ordered a copy for my sister-in-law who has a two-year-old and is pulling her hair out. I highly recommend this book to all sleep-deprived parents of toddlers!

5.0 out of 5 stars If you catch a squirrel, we will go get ice cream! (Said so I could read this book in my yard)

Stay at home mom here. The only reason I didn't write a review sooner was because I had this book in my face. (I was able to read it by sitting outside and telling my son we would get ice cream if he could catch a squirrel.) Speaking of face, toddlerhood slapped us in the face way before I expected it. 15 months. I started off as one of THOSE moms. Crunchy granola no tv or electronics organic gluten free "not my sweet angel" moms. Now my toddler is a little S$#% half the time (remember, we aren't full blown toddler yet.) We have literally worn out one DVD of Frozen and my husband was told not to bother coming home from work without a new one. As I write this, I stink. Like really stink. I can't recall my last shower. My kid sits on my lap while I poop and my house is covered with a white film, being a combo of yogurt and lotion, which are interchangeable to him. My meals consists of whatever he didn't eat, which is often enough that I know I will at least get one hot rejected meal a day. And I secretly despise my mother just a little bit for being smug that my son is always the perfect angel at her house. (Not that he's not a sweetheart at mine, but it's a delicate walk that can change in a split second). This book is funny as hell. If you have a toddler, this book is hilarious. I came close to peeing my pants. (If you are a new mom, you probably will pee your pants. Totally normal.) Because it's so true. Every sentence. If you are or have a first time pregnant friend, this should be purchased for a glimpse into the future and a fantastic non stop laugh.

Seriously. I and my husband enjoyed every word written.
Not only do I recommend you get this book, if you have a toddler (and a sense of humor), but I also think you should get one for a friend, if they have or will have a toddler soon.
It should be a required present for the parent(s) of a child who just recently turned one.
Get the kid a present, and get the parents one too! (A copy of this book). Because after reading it, you will not be loaning yours out. You will be keeping your copy in your "nightly stash" bag for when you need a pick me up and to hear someone tell you: it all will be okay. You will survive, Lol.

Now, you might be rolling your eyes at my review... But if my husband is too be believed, he likens me to "Simon Cowell" of book reviews. ( I don't give out good reviews unless it's been earned.) And in all honesty, If you have a sense of humor and a toddler who is not always a little angel.. then this book is for you.

However, if you think all children are adorable at all times. Honest, beautiful, sweet and can do no wrong. And consider yourself a classic " Suzy- Homemaker"- Then this book is NOT for you.

This book suited me just fine and my husband. We laughed out loud literally. It was a bonding moment for us, after we tucked our little psycho to bed. Not only were we all smiles the entire time, but I plan on keeping it stored permanently on my kindle, so I can go back and savor it again as needed. (Like a fine wine.)

Also, my good friends who are on my "nice list" for Christmas will be receiving a copy. And I will be remembering this book as a good gift to give other parents that I like, who have toddlers. Essentially anyone who is Not a " sancti-parent" ( inside joke that you will have to read the book to know what I mean.

Bravo all around to Bunmi Laditan!! Loved your writing style. And I look forward to more. You will be going on my must read list.

I bought this for myself when I realised I was struggling with staying calm while parenting a 1-year-old. An easy read as it's not a continuous narration but rather a mix of formats, and short sections. Three years later, I've gifted it to many friendly parents who also loved it. I find that in difficult times, the clever one-liners from the book surface onto my harassed brain and make me laugh out loud, which usually serves to dispel the tension.
Laditan is decidedly irreverent and makes it clear that she cannot stand hypocritical "all-perfect" parents. She is exposing the nitty-gritty reality of raising small humans and oscillating between wanting to cuddle them and wanting a ticket to get far, far away from there. I am grateful for this book and I hope to read more of hers.

5.0 out of 5 stars Tells it like it is
Reviewed in Canada on April 29, 2018

My baby hasn't even made it into the world (7 weeks to go), but I was getting tired of reading books about pregnancy and babies. I stumbled upon Bunmi Laditan's facebook page due to friends liking some of her posts and it making it's way to me feed. I adored Bunmi's honesty and the fact that she is not afraid to share what it feels like to be a Mom who is not perfect and who doesn't strive to be the picture perfect mommy (aka the Sanctiparent/Sanctimommy). She is sassy, witty and honest. I want to be her best friend!

So I quickly reserved her book Toddlers Are A**holes from the library and after two chapters, I jumped online to order the Kindle version for my tablet as I know it is a book I will want to look back on to remind me that I am not losing my mind, that kids are crazy and it's okay to not be perfect.

She tells it like it is. She calls out those who make others feel small and imperfect. She makes jokes out of the everyday things that happen in life with a toddler. Sure some are over the top (and probably never happen), but most are to make you laugh and not feel alone.It's parody people!

Pretty much anything you want to know about raising a toddler is in this book. You need to take the entire thing with a grain of salt and a dose of humour, but it's so hilarious that you'll want a copy for yourself.

Sections about "Grooming Your Goblin", "Mealtime aka Hell", "How Not To Die Inside" and "Rites of Passage" are just a few of the chapters that are filled with wisdom, anecdotes and lists.

If you haven't checked out her website, do it! Or check our her facebook page. You won't regret it. Remember to bring your sense of humour.
