Summary

From the author of the international best seller Go the F--k to Sleep comes a book about the other great parental frustration: getting your little angel to eat something that even vaguely resembles a normal meal. Profane, loving and deeply cathartic, You Have to F--king Eat breaks the code of child-rearing silence, giving new, old, grand- and expectant parents a much-needed chance to laugh about a universal problem.

It is all true :)

These are just great fun - if you have kids, you have thought at least half of this yourself!! :) Worth a couple of quid for this and the partner book (don't use a credit they are cheap!) Go the **** to sleep is just as good - the Super star Authors just make it even more hilarious.. More... More please!! How about potty training next? - We are going through that one at the moment and there is much hilarity to be had I think with that subject :D

Still true.

I'm still feeling these books. My daughter is still going through this stage and it's beyond frustrating, so it's good to laugh about it and realise others have the same thoughts.

Hilarious and entertaining... And if course Stephen Fry :)

I have always enjoyed the simplicity and genius that is combined in children's literature and rhyme and with this (and Mansbach's other, no less excellent release) there is finally an edition for adults as well. What swayed me to purchase this release was the added joy of Stephen Fry as the narrator. Excellent audio book, very entertaining. I can recommend this to anyone who has a good sense of humour and is not easily offended. Great comedy which I think new and unsuspecting parents may particularly appreciate, however even without having kids and the experiences that go along with them yourself this should still get a chuckle out of you here and there. Highly recommend!

More of the same

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

At less than ten minutes long, it would be difficult not to!

Any additional comments?

If you've already experienced Mansbach's hilarious 'Go The F--k To Sleep' then this is really just the same joke transposed to slightly different circumstances. For me, this second book was unresistable, though, as I'm a huge fan of Stephen Fry, and his narration is as delightful as you'd expect.

Funny! So all kids are the same with food?!

Exactly how my children were and how I felt at eating times! Hilarious!
Brilliantly read to by the ever dependable Fry! Perfect!

Amusing & accurate experiences with food and a child

A very short story (under 5 mins) but it did make me chuckle to myself as I reflected back on many a situation with food, a child and the desire that they f**king eat!
Love the narration; Stephen Fry is one of my favourites!
Shame you can’t buy the book series as a bundle for the credit used as feels like a lot for 5mins

Hilarious and true

Hilarious!

And SO true!

Whoever has ever raised a toddler can surely relate!

Whoever hasn’t, probably won’t enjoy it or understand as much.

Enjoy!

How to get your lil darlings to eat

This is a funny take on getting little kids to eat. It is aimed at grownups and should be very relatable for all parents of smal children.
