“If you are a parent, or even just have or know a parent, you will love this book. It’s seriously impossible NOT to. I dare you to try.”

—Jill Smokler, New York Times bestselling author of Confessions of a Scary Mommy

“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. I’m Amber Dusick and I started my blog Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures because I needed a place to vent about the funny (and frustrating) day-to-day things that happened to me as a parent. 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.

AMBER DUSICK wrote her first blog post at crappypictures.com and, wishing she had photos to illustrate her stories, she drew them-late at night, in the dark, while nursing a baby. The pictures were admittedly crappy, but Dusick’s hilarious take on the crappier side of parenting made Parenting: Illustrated with Crappy Pictures an overnight success. Dusick lives in Los Angeles with her not-at-all-crappy husband, two sons and two cats.
