Download or read book You Can t Give Vodka to a Baby written by Oliver Green and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: You can't give vodka to a baby ... and other parenting myths is a parody baby/child-raising manual. A joke. Filled with advice, diagrams, case studies and the most politically incorrect views on raising children ever put on paper. It pokes fun at the millions of books, articles, blogs and people out there who make it their business to tell other people how to raise their kids - and do it with such passive aggressive bullying verve. Written by fictitious author Dr Oliver (He got his doctorate from the same university as Dr Dre ...) and filled with You can't say that! moments that will give new parents a chuckle and make them remember that raising kids isn't as complicated as the advice industry would have them believe. Or as Dr Oliver would say: Kids are quite resilient mammals. Also - they don't really remember anything until they're about 4 years old so you got a bit of wiggle room.

Good Books and a Cup of Tea This ISN'T a book about babies... It IS about two people, one unexpected pregnancy and a question... Viv and Max were best friends for years, then they were lovers and then it all went terribly wrong. Now finally they are to be reunited. Viv feels sick. Not just with nerves at seeing the gorgeous Max again, but because there's a small chance she might, quite possibly, most definitely, be pregnant. It's thrilling. But also terrifying. At thirty-two Viv doesn't have a job, only eats fruit when there's nothing else, and can barely meet the needs of her foster cat. And whilst she knows that Max is the love of her life, they don't exactly have the most stable relationship. Then, as Viv's long-lost mother reappears on the scene and they all end up sharing an apartment, all hell breaks loose. HOW ON EARTH ARE THEY GOING TO COPE? OMG Baby! is the hilarious, cringe-worthy and touching sequel to Never Google Heartbreak.

Book excerpt: “Emily Oster is the non-judgmental girlfriend holding our hand and guiding us through pregnancy and motherhood. She has done the work to get us the hard facts in a soft, understandable way.” —Amy Schumer What to Expect When You're Expecting meets Freakonomics: an award-winning economist and author of Cribsheet, The Family Firm, and The Unexpected disproves standard recommendations about pregnancy to empower women while they're expecting. Pregnancy—unquestionably one of the most profound, meaningful experiences of adulthood—can reduce otherwise intelligent women to, well, babies. Pregnant women are told to avoid cold cuts, sushi, alcohol, and coffee without ever being told why these are forbidden. Rules for prenatal testing are similarly unexplained. Moms-to-be desperately want a resource that empowers them to make their own right choices. When award-winning economist Emily Oster was a mom-to-be herself, she evaluated the data behind the accepted rules of pregnancy, and discovered that most are often misguided and some are just flat-out wrong. Debunking myths and explaining everything from the real effects of caffeine to the surprising dangers of gardening, Expecting Better is the book for every pregnant woman who wants to enjoy a healthy and relaxed pregnancy—and the occasional glass of wine.

Book excerpt: Call Light By: J.M. Frollo “What is the craziest thing that’s happened to you while working on an airplane?” is, hands down, the most popular question asked of flight attendants. Strange and entertaining scenarios are to be expected while millions of people fly through the sky or sit around waiting in airports each day, but the stories in Call Light bring to mind a couple of burning questions: What in the world happens to people when they pass through the sliding glass doors of an airport, and what is it about air travel that inhibits common sense, common courtesies, and basic problem-solving skills? We may never know why some passengers behave so outlandishly, but when they do, it’s only natural to laugh. From Mr. Fabulous’ awkward advances to Mr. Gray’s lavatory misadventures to the secondhand sandwich fiasco for The Couple in Row Five, Call Light is full of lighthearted and playful tales of life aboard an airliner. Told with wit and humility, these stories from an observant flight attendant feature a variety of lively personalities in colorful scenarios that share a positive message for any traveler: Be on the lookout for humor, and always choose kindness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Labor and delivery nurse Penelope is an expert at her job but a complete mess when it comes to her personal life. After her boyfriend dumps her in favor of saving his marriage, Penelope discovers she’s pregnant. Now Penelope must face motherhood, her greatest fear, as a single parent or consider the alternative. Jesenia, a first-generation American, made her mark as a model then quit the business in favor of a nine-to-five and wedded bliss. After three years of fertility treatments and pressure from her family, she feels that trying to become a mother is a full-time job. But when her past mistakes threaten her chances, Nia will have to confront her youthful choices and over-involved family’s opinions on bloodlines if she wants to become a mother. If choosing a homebirth and nursing a toddler don’t make Lotus unconventional, growing up in a commune and choosing a polyamorous marriage certainly do. After her grandfather’s unexpected death and the inheritance of his Victorian home, Lotus just wants to run her business, take care of her family, and live in her version of normal. That peace is threatened by her husband’s former lover, the end of his sobriety, and a new love interest, all of which will turn her world upside down. Words We Cannot Say is told through three diverse voices as the women navigate friendship, motherhood, pregnancy, and loss. What happens when women tell the truth about themselves, their desires, and the sacrifices they’re willing—or unwilling—to make?
