Description

Bent Out of Shape But Not Broken (Yet) Bestselling author Clint Edwards clues readers into the (literal) back-breaking work that is being a parent with this all-too-real collection of stories. Like the time he tried to impress his daughter with a double back flip at a trampoline park or when he attempted to run a 5K with his 8-year-old, both of which have left him acutely aware of his own physical limitations. Parenthood can push you to the brink both physically and mentally, but it's in those moments of hardship where you find the greatest reward. This book perfectly displays this sentiment with essays like Hell is Teaching Your Kiddo How to Read, Enforcing the Rules Turns me From Walter White to Heisenberg, and many other hilariously real stories from the front lines of parenting. With his signature insight and wit, Edwards is sure to show you how to laugh through the tears and appreciate the effort in your exhaustion.
