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.
