Download Someone Could Get Hurt: A Memoir of 21st-Century Parenthood AudioBook Free
Audie Honor Finalist, Humor, 2014 A pointed, funny, and heartfelt memoir about fatherhood and the pros and cons of raising a family in modern America. No one writes about family quite like Drew Magary. The GQ correspondent and Deadspin columnist's reviews about trying to improve a family have attracted an incredible number of readers online. And now he's finally delivering that unique speech to a memoir. In Someone COULD EASILY GET Hurt, he reflects on his own parenting experiences to explore the anxiousness, rationalizations, compromises, and overpowering love that include elevating children in contemporary America. In brutally honest and funny reviews, Magary unveils how American parents handle being in over their mind (getting drunk while trick-or-treating, viewing helplessly as a kid defiantly pees in a hotel pool, participating in role-play with a princess-crazed little princess), and exactly how stepping back will often make all the difference (speaking a young child down from the 3rd story of your netted-in playhouse, allowing children to make little faults in the kitchen to keep them from making the bigger ones in life). It's a celebration of all the surprises - joyful and in any other case - that include being part of a genuine family. Inside the wake of recent best sellers that expose how almost every other culture boosts their children better, Someone COULD EASILY GET Hurt offers a amusing and heartfelt security of North american child rearing with a view into the genuine love and compassion that accompany the missteps and flawed reasoning. It's the report of mind lice, almost-dirty words, flat-head symptoms, and a guy endeavoring to commit the ultimate act of selflessness is a selfish world.
