“A painfully honest and hilarious parenting book for us non-parenting-book-reading underachievers trying to survive the whole parenting experience. You know, I really could have used this book before my kids drove me insane. Next time write faster, James.” —Brian Gordon, creator of the webcomic Fowl Language “James Breakwell’s “Bare Minimum Parenting: The Ultimate Guide to Not Quite Ruining Your Child” is a witty and refreshing take on parenting in a modern world. I have always enjoyed following James’ parental trials and tribulations on social media and it’s fun to seeing his musings come to life in this essential handbook!” —Rebecca Mader, actress on Once Upon a Time and Lost “I’ve never felt so guilt-free ignoring my child to read a book.” —Laura Perlongo, Shorty Award-winning cohost of the web series We Need to Talk and guest commentator on MTV’s Catfish “Breakwell has a hit . . . uproariously funny, and at times, unexpectedly poignant.” — Liliana Hart, New York Times bestselling author and mom of five “Oh, parents! Read this book and free yourself from the blood sport that parenting has become! With humor, insight and honesty, smart-ass James Breakwell tells you what no other parenting book has the guts to say—relax. You and the kids will be just fine.” —Kristan Higgins, New York Times bestselling author “James Breakwell’s Bare Minimum Parenting is a rollicking, entertaining manifesto for the half-assed revolution. Reading it was WAY more fun than writing my own books and raising my own kids.” —Carolyn Parkhurst, New York Times bestselling author of The Dogs of Babel and Harmony “As a father of three children ages 25, 17, and 3, who are all reasonably well adjusted and jail-free, James Breakwell’s views on kids and parenting speaks to my soul. This book brings balance to the 300,000 misguided ‘how to raise the perfect child’ books out there that increase our stress level as if answering 500 why questions from a toddler every day weren't stressful enough! If you have a kid, are planning on having a kid, or have friends who have kids and want to hold on to some of your sanity, this book is a must-read!” —Jaime Casap, chief education evangelist at Google and free range parent “I don't have any kids, and still I loved this book. I laughed and laughed, and then I reached the part about raising a child in your thirties or forties and I cried.” —David Litt, former speechwriter for President Obama and bestselling author of Thanks, Obama “A parenting book like no other. Wise, hilarious and a must-read for harassed, guilt-ridden parents everywhere. Parenting doesn't have to be high maintenance. Don't believe me? Read this.” —Vicki Psarias, bestselling author of Mumboss and founder of Honestmum.com

Like James Breakwell I have 4 kids. They all somehow survived into adulthood, so I didn't *need* to read a book on parenting. I was mostly looking for validation that doing less was more.If you follow James on and of the social medias you already know he's a funny guy. He's an Erma Bombeck for a generation that has no idea who I'm talking about. Hidden in his humor is a lot of truth that all parents have experienced. He doesn't try to trick you into thinking you've failed in comparison to his perfect family.I expected this book to be funny. I expected to see my life in parts of it. I didn't expect to find a lot of actual advice, but it's there. The first sentence of the last chapter sums it up best.You're not the first person to struggle as a parent.He's right, you're not. We all do & despite Instagram posts you the contrary, none of us are perfect. Read this book. You'll feel much better about your own parenting skills.
Finally, someone has written a book that matches the effort my teen puts into life, school, etc.! I enjoy James Breakwell on social media, but this book is the next level! Not only did it have me laughing out loud but it is truly nice to know that you are not the only parent out there who feels like they are making it all up as they go along. I hope to be reading more of James Breakwell's books in the future.
“Becoming a grown-up is the second-most expensive mistake you’ll ever make. The first is having a kid.†- chapter 5If you follow James Breakwell on social media, then you know his sense of humor.If not, then you’re in for a hilarious ride.While I have the physical book, I read this in Breakwell’s voice. It reads as he talks, as he tweets, as he posts. There are many, many hilarious moments, broken with some serious and legitimate points. This “unbook†to parenting is a must-have for anyone with any number of children.Or, in my case, someone who teaches them. And as a non-parent teacher, I whole-heartedly approve of the overall message for parents to sometimes just CHILL BACK. Do not be an overbearing, overachieving (albeit, not an UNDERachieving either) parent.Have a drink. Have a laugh.Take a step back and look at the big picture.Breakwell reminds us that there is no perfect time to have a child. And there is no perfect way of parenting. After all, none of them will be “the Chosen One,†and everyone ends up the same (in a way), anyway. You don’t know which adults were natural births or C-sections; who was or was not breastfed; who co-slept and who didn’t.His Christianity is evident to someone who knows what to look for. After all, Breakwell talks about the pros and cons of having a child at various times of one’s life, from being a teen to being erm… “old as hell†(aka, over 50).His geekery/pop culture knowledge is evident in how he talks about ‘Star Wars,’ Middle Earth, Cthulhu, and video games.I cried from laughing so hard.I have so many things quoted that I might as well retype the book as one stupendous quote.Chapter 3 was utterly hilarious from the first sentence.Provided your child doesn’t blame you for all that goes wrong in their life, you have a good future in store for you.The more money you have, the more complaints you have.The more money you have, the more you’ll spend on “better†baby items.Welcome to the monetarily poorest days of life.I love that he describes pros and cons of many things, from having more than one child (entertainment and saving money on hand-me-downs), to taking pictures (they have to know they were loved), to education, to food choices.With education, there is an absolutely great reminder that stats are ‘averages,’ and any individual child should not be measured against those stats. Focus on your own kid. Plus, a lot of the stats are steeped in money, and a knowledge base is contributed to by many other factors.
Yes, yes, I know this book is just humor, but if you’re an anxious parent, it will relax you. If you’re a relaxed parent, it will make you feel good about yourself. And if your kids are grown, it may prompt flashbacks along with gratitude that they are no longer toddlers.
As a first-time parent, this book has been incredibly uplifting to read. The author is incredibly witty and brings levity to raising a child. I followed this author on twitter for a while before purchasing his book and was kind of expecting a laugh out loud book of anecdotes, but found something much more empowering. With the world shouting at you and constantly judging every decision you make as a parent from the diapers you use to the amount of time you let a kid stare at a screen, I feel like the author is an advocate for the parent as a living and breathing person. Thanks James, awesome work!
I get that this was written as a satirical look at parenting books, but it is so well done and so true for parents like me that I regularly quote it on parenting groups as gospel. It seems like Breakwell has been taking notes on my husband and my theory of "lazy parenting" and has an awesome grasp on what really matters in creating real people who will live in the real world without making yourself crazy for no reason. I mean, I'd take a bullet for my kids, but I'm not really interested in picking their socks of the floor for the rest of my life.
