Don't Do It, Don't Do It, Don't Do It: A Hilarious Guide to Surviving Parenthood from Birth to Toddlerhood - Paperback

by India Thomas (Author)

Raising a child from birth to toddlerhood is equal parts joy, exhaustion, laughter, and chaos-and sometimes all within the same five minutes.

In Don't Do It, Don't Do It, Don't Do It: A Hilarious Guide to Surviving Parenthood from Birth to Toddlerhood, first-time author and parent India Thomas delivers a refreshingly honest, laugh-out-loud look at early parenting that every tired caregiver will instantly recognize.

This book isn't about perfect routines, color-coded schedules, or doing everything "right." Instead, it's a warm, funny survival guide for parents navigating sticky hands, public tantrums, snack negotiations, sleepless nights, and the constant internal mantra of "Don't do it..."-usually followed by a toddler doing it anyway.

Through short, relatable chapters like You're the Napkin Now, Why Everything Is Sticky, Backwash: The Love Language of Toddlers, and The Car Seat Is Their Kryptonite, Thomas captures the everyday absurdities of raising tiny humans with humor, empathy, and heart. Each chapter blends real-life parenting moments with reassurance that you're not alone-and that you're doing better than you think.

Written in a conversational, judgment-free tone, Don't Do It, Don't Do It, Don't Do It is perfect for parents of babies and toddlers, expectant parents, caregivers, and anyone who has ever loved (or survived) a small child. It makes a thoughtful gift, a comforting bedside read, or a much-needed laugh during nap time.

Because parenting at this stage isn't about having it all together-it's about showing up, laughing when you can, and loving fiercely through the chaos.
