About this listen

Are you who you are because of your parents…but you’d never admit it?

If you’ve ever rolled your eyes at your parents’ quirks only to realize you’re exactly like them, this book is for you.

The Hilarious Truth about Parenting, Children and Relationships is a laugh-out-loud journey through the chaos, hilarity, and occasional wisdom of growing up in a family full of rules, traditions, and those all-too-familiar phrases we swore we’d never repeat (Spoiler alert: We repeat them).

From “Clean your plate or else” guilt trips to the infamous “We’ll see…”—which is just a parent’s way of saying no—these hysterical stories will leave you laughing, cringing, and maybe even tearing up. Each chapter is packed with real-life moments, exaggerated chaos, and a secret heartwarming truth about what it means to be raised by parents who cared a little too much.

Inside this book, you’ll discover:

  • The power struggles over the TV remote and the art of tactical channel flipping.
  • Why leaving the lights on is a crime punishable by endless dad lectures.
  • A survival guide for awkward family dinners featuring tuna casseroles and guilt-trips about wasting food.
  • How yelling at your kid’s sports games is an Olympic sport (and your parents are gold medalists).
  • And the hidden truths behind all those phrases that drove you crazy but shaped who you are today.

Why you’ll love this book: It’s funny. Like, “I-can’t-breathe” funny. Every story will remind you of your own family, whether you’re the one raising kids now or still recovering from your own parents’ creative parenting tactics. It’s the perfect mix of humor, heart, and those moments that make you think, Maybe my parents weren’t so crazy after all.

Perfect for parents, adult children, or anyone who’s ever survived a family gathering with a little laughter and a lot of eye-rolling.

Download now to laugh, reminisce, and maybe even admit (in secret, of course) that your parents were right all along.

A Hilarious Walk Down Memory Lane

This book had me laughing from start to finish because it felt like my family was the inspiration! From the classic "Clean your plate" guilt trips to the endless debates over the TV remote, every story hit close to home in the best way.

It’s not just funny—it’s also a reminder of how those quirky parenting tactics shape who we are. As a parent now, I catch myself saying the same things I swore I never would, and this book made me feel less alone in that. If you love to laugh and reflect on family chaos, you’ll love this!

Awesome!

This audiobook captures the chaos and comedy of family life in such a relatable way. If you've ever rolled your eyes at your parents’ quirks only to realize you’ve inherited them, this book will hit home in the funniest way possible.

The stories are so vivid, you’ll feel like you’re reliving those childhood moments, battles over the TV remote, guilt trips about food, and the infamous dad lectures about wasting electricity. But this book isn’t just about laughs. Beneath the humor is a sweet and heartfelt message about what it means to grow up in a family. Those little annoyances and quirky traditions actually shaped us in ways we never realized until now.

Relatable and So Funny

This book had me laughing from start to finish. As a parent, I could see so much of my own life in the stories, especially the moments where you catch yourself saying things you swore you never would. It’s not just funny—it’s also oddly comforting to know we’re all figuring this out as we go. I found myself sharing bits with my spouse and laughing all over again. If you need a good laugh and some perspective, grab this!

Very Fun!

I can't believe that this audiobook made me laugh so hard that I almost dropped my coffee! The stories reminded me so much of my own family, especially the funny guilt trips and the classic "we’ll see" moments. Listening to it made me laugh and realize just how much I’ve turned into my parents. The mix of funny and sweet family truths was perfect. If you want something fun and easy to listen to, this audiobook is great! Highly Recommended!

Love it!

I laughed throughout the whole book, and I am not even exaggerating. A lot of times parenting is just two adults (sometimes one) trying to pretend they got everything figured it out. Parenting is not easy, but you’ll get through it easier if you look at it from lens with humor.

But, but, but, MY music IS real music!

This audio book really is funny! So many memories of growing up and realizing how much I've become like my parents! Classic guilt trips, never-ending battles over the TV Remote (or "who has the power" as we called it). Mix of humor, chaos, and the sneaky moments of heartfelt wisdom will leave you feeling both entertained and grateful for the craziness that shaped you.
