I’m on vacation, in beautifulsunnyFloridadearlordhelpmeplease, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t enjoy a beautiful book giveaway whilst I’m away. And by beautiful book I mean the new and hilarious STFU Parents by Blair Koenig. If you’ve heard of the Internet, you probably know of the STFU Parents site, but still, when my copy of the book came in the mail I had a split second of “OMG, my kids published a book addressed to their father and me!†before I calmed my nerves and took the anti-paranoia pill that the doctor prescribed.
STFU Parents is funny. Very funny. But it will also make you rock in a corner so you may want to brush up on some of your self-soothing moves.
The book is a compilation of parental Facebook postings– ranging in topics from Baby Showers (did you know parents can throw themselves one? Just add a link to an Amazon wishlist!) to Baby contests (don’t forget to spam your friends to vote for your baby daily!) to Baby Poop (kids are constipated! But sometimes they have diarrhea!) to Momedy (moms are being funny! Mostly all in the exact same way! LMAO!) But what makes this book comedy gold are Koenig’s zingers, so the book is  like reading Facebook while sitting on the couch with your smart and funny BFF and rolling your eyes together at the updates.
So, don’t wait and enter the giveaway!
All you have to do is tell me who the book is for- it could be for you, it could be for your oversharing brother-in-law, it could be a baby shower gift for a colleague. That’s it! Just leave me a comment and I’ll pick whoever I like best, I mean, I’ll pick a random winner on April 2nd.
Other rules: Two entries per person. One comment, one for tweeting a link to this giveaway with a #STFUParents hashtag (but leave a comment with the link to the tweet so Motherhood in NYC auditors can verify your entry). I will notify the winner via electronic mail, so make sure to ..er..leave an email address. And also to check your email. You’ll have 24 hours to reply to my email after which time you will magically stop being the winner and become the loser and I’ll pick another winner to take your place.
Good luck! And if you are too exhausted by all these rules, just buy your copy here!
Good luck!

It would be for me, of course – who do you think I am, Mother Teresa?
It’s for me! (But I’ll pass it around later.)
The books is selfishly for me! I need some humor!
It would be for an amazing friend, and she might mail it to me after she reads it.

It will be a shower gift for a friend…but I will read it before the shower~
It will be for my children to read TO me so I can avoid a nasty paper cut and /or sore wrist from turning pages. They are on this earth for a reason.

Wait…………….. What?
For me! But I’ll take good care of it, and then pass it on to an expecting gal pal on the opposite coast.
It’s for me ( but I’ll read it without cracking the spine so that I can wrap it up and give it as a gift afterwards – sharing is caring, people!)

For the cute couple on my street expecting their second kid…because I already gave them “Let’s Panic About Babies” when the first one was born.m
I have several pregnant facebook friends who may be in need of the book. The most annoying one will get an anonymous package in the mail.
hmmmm…i kind of want it for me. but then i have friends who just had a baby. although they were delightfully circumspect during the pregnancy, so maybe they don’t really need it. i however, almost posted an stfu parents-worthy status today, so…
(please forgive me, i’m delirious from dealing with a sick toddler!)
tweeted! https://twitter.com/cmafairman/status/316734616969027584
This would be for my sister in law. She has two kids, 3 years and 4. She has been closing on saying STFU on a few occasions. Plus she has the “Go the F to sleep” book.
Anything you recommend as funny has to be, so I’ll read it first and then share.
sounds great!!1 I’ll take it…
