"The drawings aren't very good, Mama." —Crappy Boy, age 5 Of course you love being a parent. But sometimes, it just sucks. I know.

Turns out, poop is hilarious! At least when you're not the one wiping it up. This book won't make your frustrating moments any less crappy. But these stories about my Crappy Baby, Crappy Boy and my husband, Crappy Papa, will hopefully make you laugh. Because you're not alone. And sometimes the crappiest moments make the best memories. Parenting is wonderful! And also, well, you know.

Klar ist Elternsein das Schönste auf der Welt. Trotzdem macht es manchmal keinen Spaß. Genauso geht es auch Amber Dusick. Deshalb hat sie damit angefangen, auf ihrem Blog die witzigen (und frustrierenden) Alltagsgeschichten aufzuschreiben, die einem als Mutter oder Vater so zustoßen. Und mit – zugegebenermaßen nicht sehr guten – Zeichnungen zu illustrieren. Ihr urkomischer Blick auf das Leben mit Kindern machte ihren Blog über Nacht zum durchschlagenden Erfolg. Und zeigt vor allem, dass der tägliche Wahnsinn mit Kindern ganz stinknormal ist.
