Following the success of Go the F**k to Sleep, Confessions of a Scary Mommy, and Ketchup Is a Vegetable, a collection of funny, warm, and charmingly profane tales from the frontlines of parenthood by the author of the popular Baby Sideburns blog.Once upon a time you and your partner had a perfect life: dinners out, weekend mornings cuddling in bed, brunch with friends. Then you gave birth to a … bed, brunch with friends. Then you gave birth to a poop machine (or two). Now, it’s all about the pediatrician, breast pumps, princess dresses, and minivans. And discovering that your pride and joy is actually a little A-hole.
When your son wakes you up at 3:00 A.M. because he wants to watch Caillou, he’s an a-hole. When your daughter outlines every corner of your living room with a purple crayon, she’s an a-hole. When your rug rats purposely paint the kitchen ceiling with their smoothies, they’re a-holes. At times like these, it’s only natural to want to kill them (or yourself). But it’s against the law (and there’s the suicide hotline). Plus, there’s that whole loving them more than anything in the whole world thing.
In I Heart My Little A-Holes, Karen Alpert shares hilarious stories, lists, and deep thoughts on the joys and horrors of raising children. Accompanied by cheery illustrations and photos I Heart My Little A-Holes will make you laugh so hard you’ll wish you were wearing a diaper.

It was NOT funny or even a little bit humorous and no amount of expletives (there were three or four in every sentence) will make it funny. I’m not a prude but that was just boring.
I really liked this book, it was very funny but the excess use of profanity started to mar my enjoyment. I don’t mind profanity, but using it in every instance just to say you can is not my preference. The stories were enjoyable, and relatable.
This book was hilarious, kept me laughing through the whole book! Realistic look at parenthood!
O.K. But somewhat disappointing.
Too much foul language for my liking. A funny read that would have been just as funny and much easier to read without all the “f-bombs”.
I didn’t find this book funny in the least. Full of scatological references, curse words and little else. I wouldn’t recommend this book to anyone,
A nice little diversion. Glad I didnt spend more, though.
The author was able to capture the chaos and craziness that accompanies having young children. I laughed out loud a lot while reading this book. Highly recommend!
