Description

By Jennifer Mattern (Breed em and weep) for Alpha Mom

How to Con Your Kid sports the tagline “The Book Your Children Don’t Want You to Read.” My children don’t want me to read any books without Disney Princesses on the cover, but this one was definitely worth sneaking off to the bathroom with.

The authors (who are behind the bestselling Worst Case Scenario Survival Handbook series—perfect credentials) offer solid advice for outwitting your kids while keeping them (and you) smiling.

Time to get ’em dressed. I go for it. “Welcome to Mommy’s Clothing Boutique!” Kid #1 takes the bait, but Kid #2 scowls and flees the scene, shrieking “DADDY! DADDY!”

“I guess she didn’t like your clothes,” says Kid #1.

I’m sure they’ll cover this in the sequel. (via Alpha Mom HotSpot)
