i hate other peoples kids (book)

just got this book yesterday, and its so very true


http://www.amazon.com/I-Hate-Other-Peoples-Kids/dp/1416909885

From the dawn of time, other people's kids have found ways to spoil things for the rest of us. Movie theaters, parks, restaurants -- every venue that should be a place of refuge and relaxation has instead become a freewheeling playground complete with shrieks, wails, and ill-timed excretions.


Now, I Hate Other People's Kids delivers a complete handbook for navigating a world filled with tiny terrors -- and their parents. It boldly explores how children's less- endearing traits have disrupted life throughout history ("And they say Jesus loved the little children, all the children of the world, but he never had to dine with one. He chose the lepers") and classifies important subspecies of tyke, from "Little Monsters" (Dennis the Menace, Bamm-Bamm Rubble) to the "So Good It Hurts" variety (Dakota Fanning, Ricky Schroeder in The Champ). Dotted with illuminating sidebars such as "Parents Think It's Cute, but It Isn't" and featuring tips on ingeniously turning the tables without seeming childish yourself, I Hate Other People's Kids is clever, unforgiving, and sidesplittingly funny.

Voltaire said: "Those who can make you believe absurdities can make you commit atrocities."

H.L.Mencken wrote:"The whole aim of practical politics is to keep the populace alarmed (and hence clamorous to be led to safety) by menacing it with an endless series of hobgoblins, all of them imaginary.”

I thought it was one big BINGO. It sets itself up as a humorous look at "OPK's" but it makes itself clear that this is about OTHER people's kids being annoying and ruining things, and that "it's different when they're your own".

I bought it because I thought the picture on the cover was funny; it does have some parts that I found amusing.

you could see that, but then i see since they mention animals more, its a sort of cross border book

I heard this by my cousin who hatched a loaf January 2007. What a fucked up thing to say. All kids are somebody else's kids - including her own. Jack ass.

"featuring tips on ingeniously turning the tables without seeming childish yourself, I Hate Other People's Kids is clever, unforgiving, and sidesplittingly funny."
