Reviews
"A painfully honest and hilarious parenting book for us non-parenting-book-reading underachievers trying to survive the whole parenting experience. You know, I really could have used this book before my kids drove me insane. Next time write faster, James." --Brian Gordon, creator of the webcomic Fowl Language "James Breakwell's "Bare Minimum Parenting: The Ultimate Guide to Not Quite Ruining Your Child" is a witty and refreshing take on parenting in a modern world. I have always enjoyed following James' parental trials and tribulations on social media and it's fun to seeing his musings come to life in this essential handbook!" --Rebecca Mader, actress on Once Upon a Time and Lost "I've never felt so guilt-free ignoring my child to read a book." --Laura Perlongo, Shorty Award-winning cohost of the web series We Need to Talk and guest commentator on MTV's Catfish "Breakwell has a hit . . . uproariously funny, and at times, unexpectedly poignant." -- Liliana Hart, New York Times bestselling author and mom of five "Oh, parents! Read this book and free yourself from the blood sport that parenting has become! With humor, insight and honesty, smart-ass James Breakwell tells you what no other parenting book has the guts to say--relax. You and the kids will be just fine." --Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author "James Breakwell's Bare Minimum Parenting is a rollicking, entertaining manifesto for the half-assed revolution. Reading it was WAY more fun than writing my own books and raising my own kids." --Carolyn Parkhurst, New York Times bestselling author of The Dogs of Babel and Harmony "As a father of three children ages 25, 17, and 3, who are all reasonably well adjusted and jail-free, James Breakwell's views on kids and parenting speaks to my soul. This book brings balance to the 300,000 misguided 'how to raise the perfect child' books out there that increase our stress level as if answering 500 why questions from a toddler every day weren't stressful enough! If you have a kid, are planning on having a kid, or have friends who have kids and want to hold on to some of your sanity, this book is a must-read!" --Jaime Casap, chief education evangelist at Google and free range parent "I don't have any kids, and still I loved this book. I laughed and laughed, and then I reached the part about raising a child in your thirties or forties and I cried." --David Litt, former speechwriter for President Obama and bestselling author of Thanks, Obama "A parenting book like no other. Wise, hilarious and a must-read for harassed, guilt-ridden parents everywhere. Parenting doesn't have to be high maintenance. Don't believe me? Read this." --Vicki Psarias, bestselling author of Mumboss and founder of Honestmum.com

Synopsis
Internet parenting humorist James Breakwell, bestselling author of Only Dead on the Inside , returns with with a tongue-in-cheek "how to" guide offering to help parents strive for mediocrity., This isn't a book about overachieving at parenting. This isn't even a book about achieving exactly the right amount. This is a book about doing as little as possible without quite ruining your child. Overachieving parents want you to believe the harder you work, the better your kid will turn out. That lie ends now. The truth is most kids end up remarkably unremarkable no matter what you do, so you might as well achieve mediocrity by the easiest possible route. The goal of "bare minimum parenting" is to turn your child into a functional adult with only a fraction of the effort spent by super moms and dads. If you do it right, your kid will be no better or worse off than their kids, but with more free time left for you. That's more valuable than all the participation trophies in the world. In Bare Minimum Parenting , amateur parenting expert James Breakwell will teach you to stop worrying and embrace your child's destiny as devastatingly average. To get there, you'll have to overcome your kid, other parents, and yourself, all of whom will push you to do more than is absolutely necessary. Honestly, by reading this far, you're already trying too hard. But don't stop now. You're exactly the kind of person who needs this book.

    Unfortunately I received a damaged book, the item and the package both were damaged and it was clearly evident its appearance that it happened during transit. The seller was very understanding and gave me a full refund for the damaged book, though it was no fault of their own. Other than the damage, the book was as described, the quality and condition aside from the damaged spot was like new. The cost of the book was reasonable. I would definitely purchase from the seller again.

    I buy books from this seller all the time. The books are extremely affordable. Every once in a while there's an issue but more often than not, the outcome is positive. Packaging is just a thin sleeve with no bubble protection. This leaves the books open to damage in shipping. However, the seller ships for free. Book was actually in better condition than described - a nice surprise & greatly appreciated!! 👍 Thank you very much, seller!! I'll be back with another order!! 😀
