The comedian, actor, television host, podcast king, and New York Times bestselling author of President Me, Not Taco Bell Material, and In Fifty Years Well All Be Chicks now lays down the law on the plight of the modern parent.Parents, do you often think that if your kids had to grow up the way you did-without iPads, 70-inch flatscreen TVs, American Girl dolls, and wifi in the climate controlled minivan-that they might actually be better off? Do you feel underappreciated or ignored? Do you worry youre raising a bunch of spoiled softies who will never know how to do anything themselves-because you do everything for them? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need Daddy, Stop Talking.Adam rips parenthood a new one, telling it straight about what adults must do if they dont want to have to support their kids forever. Using his own crappy childhood as a cautionary tale, and touting the pitfalls of the kind of helicopter parenting so pervasive today, Daddy, Stop Talking is the only parenting book you should ever read. Here, too, is sage advice to Adams own kids-and to future parents-on what matters most: dating; drinking and drugs; buying your first house and car; puberty; and what kind of assholes his kids (and yours) should avoid becoming. Even if his own son and daughter pretty much ignore everything he says, you shouldnt. And youre welcome. Again.
