How Not to Parent

How Not to Parent is a funny, down-to-earth look at parenting and marriage by award-winning humor writer Brad Manzo.

Follow Manzo as he deals with the issues to which every parent can relate.

on changing diapers...
As I changed my son's diaper one day, he projectile pooped all over me. I screamed like a frightened teenage girl watching a horror movie. I never saw it coming. In fact, I didn't know such a thing existed.

on senior moments...
The other day my wife mentioned that I needed those pills that supposedly improve your memory. Unfortunately, neither of us could remember what they were called.

on disciplining the kids...
God forbid we hit them. We'd never hear the end of it. Ironically, the staunchest critics of hitting are the grandparents who spanked, hit with belts, and employed the occasional wooden spoon. Then, as if running for office, they deny it ever happened.

How Not to Parent is Manzo's first book and features stories that appeared in America's Funniest Humor Book Three
