Wow, you look terrible! How to parent less and live more

Danny Ricker

Book - 2025

You used to be a person. A real one -- with hobbies, expendable income, and sex that was at least semi-annual. But then you had kids, and the more you became a parent, the less you became yourself. You love your children deeply, but most days you feel like nothing more than a butler in sweatpants. That ends today. (Just the second part. You can still love your kids.) Wow, You Look Terrible! is a beacon of hope to beleaguered parents across the globe. The revolutionary child-rearing techniques within will teach you how to: Save money on soccer by having your child join a cult ; Throw your kid's entire birthday party in 17 minutes flat ; Get shredded abs while pulling your toddler out of a bounce house ; Rid your life of the Easter Bunny... once and for all ; And much, much more! With a foreword by late-night scamp Jimmy Kimmel, and brimming with perfect advice, harrowing tales, quizzes, charts, scams, schemes, swear words, and bold-faced lies that will tip the balance of power back in your favor, Wow, You Look Terrible! will make you a bona fide human again by setting you on the righteous path of parenting less and living more.
