How many of you have kids? If you raised your hand or nodded, you likely know the struggle of getting kids to eat. While I don’t have kids myself, I grew up with children in our family, not to mention my husband having younger siblings when we were in high school. With many of my friends going through this struggle as well, I couldn’t help but laugh when I read Go the F**k to Sleep. When I heard that Adam Mansbach had a new book, Seriously, You have to Eat, I knew I had to check it out!

Seriously, You Have to Eat: Overall
Honestly, my husband and I thought this book was funny, even though we don’t have kids. Anyone that has ever dealt with children will find this book absolutely hilarious.

My husband better not see this. He’d probably laugh and say he has to get this and read it to me. He’s always trying to get me to eat, it’s absurd!

My Granddaughter is starting to become a very picky eater. We have to play the 3, 4, 5 more bites game. She tries to outsmart us by only putting a little bit on the fork.
