You Have to Fucking Eat

You Have to Fucking Eat is a follow-up to Adam Mansbach's viral hit Go the F**k to Sleep.

The scenarios depicted will be familiar to anyone who has tried to feed a stubborn toddler or school-age child. The book uses dark humor and explicit language to explore the universal parental experience of trying to provide proper nutrition while maintaining composure. It validates the common feelings of exasperation that come with this basic yet challenging aspect of raising children.
