About this deal

Obviously, I'm not in the target market for this book (age 7-12 years), but I've been curious about Walliams' authorship for a long time. I had seen one of his books at the local bookstore, and I had to wonder about the star of "Little Britain" becoming such a popular children's writer that his books were translated into Norwegian. When I read the book I thought it was funny and it made me feel like I didn’t want to have any parents who treated me like that. I thought it was funny because the parents actually ended up having a bad problem with themselves HA HA HA HA HA . The mom, daughter, and brother were all survivors of an extremely physically abusive father (mom’s ex), the children at a very young age that very clearly caused them immense trauma that manifested as mental health issues (ADHD, violent outbursts, inability to regulate emotions, several other things all piled together). I became involved years after that man was out of the picture. A South Korean couple was arrested for neglecting their three-month-old baby girl, allowing her to starve to death. The infant was left unattended at home while the couple spent hours at internet cafés obsessively playing a game where they raised a virtual

My son’s daycare class has a kid in it who’s missing an eye. He has an eyelid/lashes/etc, just was born without the tissue used to see with. He’s a completely normal looking kid, it just looks like one eye is always closed and instead of the roundness of an eyeball behind is flat since it’s missing. There’s nothing scary, or weird, or gross about him.The night before we’re supposed to leave, we’re getting our costumes together and Timmy and Crystal get into one of the worst screaming matches I’ve ever heard. It’s loud, it’s angry, objects have gone airborne. Crystal is screaming/crying and we go in to make sure they aren’t hitting each other. Timmy has her in a chokehold. He’s got a huge knot on his head. She threw something at his head. “Don’t worry, I know how to restrain her when she gets like this. She’ll be fine.” Charlie actually believed quitting smoking would’ve been detrimental to her baby’s health. Like how when you’re bashing your face into a wall you don’t want to stop because you know deep down anything that causes that much facial bruising must somehow be good for you. Last I heard, he FINALLY was able to get his own apartment, but I still see them around town together. I NEVER see him on his own. She’ll even go with him to the bathroom at the county fair… And I’m 27 now so he’s gotta be around 32ish. I absolutely love this series even though the characters aren't exactly the type to appeal to anyone. Fremon and his wife insisted it was their right to discipline their child however they saw fit. Apparently, her age and disobedience meant beating her with wood wasn’t abuse.

Mom spent the entire time I was involved with the family essentially blaming everything on the daughter’s outbursts and as much as said with her daughter present (and old enough to understand) “she was forced on me when he took off his condom” with regards to whether the daughter was planned or an accident. I spent several days working with this family and not once did I hear the mother say anything resembling love, affection, caring, kindness, or understanding towards her daughter and the vast majority of the time the mother was trying to elicit sympathy from other adults in terms of how difficult the kid was to manage. She made multiple disparaging comments about her daughter as if she wasn’t present in the room, coldly ignored her for large periods of time while sitting right next to her, etc. She very obviously still had her own trauma from the abusive ex and seemed to transplant all of her negativity towards him into her behavior towards her daughter. We had statements by police officers involved after one of the violent outbursts by the daughter that the mother told them (in front of daughter) “take her away, take her anywhere, I don’t care where she goes, just get her the hell out of my house. In 2012, new mum Brittany Hill was arrested for trying to sell her four-month-old baby in the classifieds section of her local newspaper. The book over all is really fantastic but just reviewing the book in itself would not give a proper description. I am just rating the stories according to my thoughts on each segment of the book. I honestly don’t have a bad word to say about this book. I was genuinely laugh out loud funny, the stories were interesting and the illustrations were visually stunning. As an adult reading this book I had a wonderful reading experience, so I can only image the joy this book would bring to its target audience.

The worlds worst parents are: Peter Pong, Belinda Brag, Barry Bovver,` Posy Pooch, Terry Tetch,`Miss Tutelage , Monty Monopolize, Harriet Hurry, Lord Grandiose, Super Mum. My ex girlfriend and I had been dating for 3 years at the time this story takes place (let’s call her Caitlin). She herself had a friend who had taken an interest in her (let’s call him Timmy) and she had set him up with one of her friends (let’s call her Crystal). Once again the collaboration between David Walliams and Tony Ross was absolutely perfect. Tony Ross’ illustrations added an extra dimension to David Walliams’ wonderful stories. I honestly cant wait to see what these two come out with next.
