A young woman holds her newborn son and looks at him lovingly. Softly she sings:

"I'll love you forever

I'll like you for always

As long as I'm living

My baby you'll be"

I'm sure many of you remember that heartwarming story. My mom used to read it to me as a child.

Well, news flash fuckers, this book isn't anything like that.

Parenting Things is an earnest examination about the trials, taboos, and exhaustion that comes with parenting*

*from someone who has never fucking done it.

“this book is hilariously aggressive.”

— Shawn Taylor, a mom (actually/literally Alex’s mom)



“HELPFUL ADVICE - LIKE NOT SHAKING BABIES OR CUNT PUNTING A KID.”

— John Doe, a dad



About ALEX

Alex lives in Seattle with her husband and their three cats. So, because she has a domestic partner alongside her domesticated pets, she is not one of those “crazy” cat ladies. She is an extremely happy and motivated “childless cat lady” much to J.D. Vance’s chagrin.
