Fireside Grown-Up Guide to the Mom
Fireside Grown-Up Guide to the Mom | Jason Hazeley, Joel Morris
8 posts | 10 read | 11 to read
The international publishing phenomenon and ridiculously funny new parody series that helps grown-ups learn about the world around them using large clear type, simple and easy-to-grasp words, frequent repetition, and thoughtful matching of text with pictures. Have you been having trouble with the How, Why, and Wheres? Well fear no more. The Fireside Grown-Up Guide series understands that the world is just as confusing to a forty-year-old as it is to a four-year-old. We re here to help and break down the most pressing and complex issues of our day into easy-to-digest pieces of information paired with vivid illustrations even a child could understand. A mom has two very important jobs: to look after her children and to do everything else well. In this "Fireside Grown-Up Guide to Mom," we learn about what moms like (making toys out of corks from her many, many wine bottles), what she hates (the sound of her own voice, which now sounds just like "her" mom s), what she s really thinking about when she leaves her children with a babysitter (whether or not the babysitter can handle these little monsters), and many other enlightening facts."

"This is a mum.
A mum has two very important jobs to do. One is to look after her children.
The other is to do everything else as well."

Happy Mother's Day to me!! And all the other lovely mums out there! Hoping to find out some more about what I'm supposed to do as I got good and giddy drunk at dinner and both my girls are still awake! 😬😋

Truth. 😊

And the original pic shows a mess all over the floor with Little One playing with toys and watching the Big Barn Farm DVD. For the 5,000th time.

kspenmoll Ha ha loves this!!!! 7y
Zelma Totally random, but we have the exact same wedding ring. 😍 7y
Libby1 How amazing, @Zelma ! I'm currently a bit too chubby to wear my engagement ring. 😝 7y

Libby1 Thanks, @kspenmoll . The book was a Christmas present and is very funny. 7y
Zelma @Libby1 I just have my wedding band. Not a jewelry person and there wasn't really an engagement (planned elopement, decided a week and a half before marrying). 7y
Libby1 @Zelma - that is excellent! 😊 7y
kspenmoll @Zelma @Libby1 I chose a wedding trip to Paris & Verona instead of an engagement ring...so glad I did, only been back to Europe one other time since. 😀 7y
Libby1 @kspenmoll - where did you visit? I'm from Chicago but now lives live in Northern Ireland. I'm superbly unextravagant so my ring wasn't flashy, either. We bought our sets in Indiana when the exchange rates were good. 🙂 7y
kspenmoll No worries, if we could have afforded both I would have... we went all over Paris, only went to Versailles outside the city- stayed near Eiffel Tower. From Verona we drove into Alps, went to Venice & Modena. A week in each city. Heaven! 7y
Libby1 That DOES sound heavenly, @kspenmoll . 7y

By far my favorite of the fireside books for grown ups. It's almost too real.
