You Have to F**king Eat
You Have to F**king Eat | Adam Mansbach
6 posts | 11 read | 3 to read
From the author of the international bestseller Go the Fuck 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 Fucking Eat breaks the code of child-rearing silence, giving mums and dads - new, old and expectant - a much-needed chance to laugh about a universal problem. You probably shouldn't read it to your children. Adam Mansbachs novels include The End of the Jews (winner of the California Book Award), Angry Black White Boy, Rage is Back and The Dead Run. His fiction and essays have appeared in the New York Times Book Review, the Believer, Granta, the Los Angeles Times and many other publications. Mansbach's 2011 picture book Go the Fuck to Sleep was an international bestseller and one of the most talked-about books of the decade. A viral sensation, it has been published in forty languages, and is forthcoming as a feature film from Fox 2000. 'A likeable variation on a universal f**king theme.' Kirkus 'Clever, funny and cathartic, parents and babysitters alike will love it.' Big Issue 'There might be some parents who dont relate to this book. But not many.' Noni Hazlehurst on Go the F**k to Sleep 'The language? WTF? This hilarious, politically incorrect books is totally correctabout the feelings of sleepless, brain-dead parents.' Mem Fox, author of Possum Magic on Go the F**k to Sleep

Loving this lemon background #ManicMonday #LetterY 🍋💛

📖 tagged. So great and there are a few different audio versions on YouTube. I think my favorite is by Stephen Fry.

✍️ Wm. Paul Young

🎥 Yesterday

🎸 Young Knives

🎶 You Make My Dreams (Hall and Oates but every cover of this song is great too)

CBee Glad you like! It‘s chilly and dreary here so I figured a nice bright background might help 😊 1y
MatchlessMarie @CBee I am a little lemon obsessed. I have lemon things all over my house. Lemon mug, cutting board, burner covers, dish towels, water bottle, candles, etc. 😂 I love it. I think it started after I got into The Wombats last year they have 2 lemon adjacent songs (pink lemonade, lemon to a knife fight). Our weather is crud here too ☔️ 1y
CBee @MatchlessMarie I‘d never heard of The Wombats until you listed a song for a #manicmonday post 😊 I like lemon themed things but can‘t stand lemon flavored things 😂 except lemonade and like, sometimes if savory things are flavored with it? I‘m weird 😂 1y

“Every family has a kid who won‘t eat.” The whole time I was reading this, I kept thinking of that line from A Christmas Story. 😂 I have been a mom for 16 years, and I have never, not once, served a meal where at least one kid didn‘t complain. It does tend to make one sweary.

baes Happens often here. My husband is a picky eater too. 😩🙄🙈 5y
Texreader Sweary! 🤣🤣 5y
TrishB Both mine. One completely changed in his teens. My daughter is still the fussiest eater ever at 18. 5y
DaveGreen7777 “My mother hasn't had a hot meal for herself in 15 years!” 😂🤣 5y

And if you enjoyed the first one then you will enjoy this one too! Knowing that there was more to come made me smile. If you dont mind profanity then this is for you!
