Book Description
In the tradition of Dave Barry, an irreverent look at fatherhood from a dad who truly loves his kids—even when they’re driving him nuts. “Robert Wilder’s hilarious and boldly candid essays about the realities of parenting go down like gin and tonic on a hot summer afternoon.”—People A Santa Fe dad shares heartwarming, comic, often ludicrous tales of raising a family in this laugh-out-loud book perfect for anyone who enjoys the edgy humor of David Sedaris or the whimsical commentary of Dave Barry. Waxing both profound and profane on issues close to a father’s heart—from exploding diapers to toddler tantrums, from the horrors of dressing up as Frosty the Snowman to the moments that make a father proud—Robert Wilder brilliantly captures the joys and absurdities of being a parent today. With an artist wife and two kids—a daughter, Poppy, and a son, London—Robert Wilder considers himself as open-minded as the next man. Yet even he finds himself parentally challenged when his toddler son, London, careens around the house in the buff or asks the kind of outrageous, embarrassing questions only a kid can ask. A high school teacher who sometimes refers to himself jokingly as Mister Mom (when his wife, Lala, is busy in her studio), Wilder shares warmly funny stories on everything from sleep deprivation to why school-sponsored charities can turn otherwise sane adults into blithering and begging idiots. Whether trying to conjure up the perfect baby name (“Poppy” came to his wife’s mother in a dream) or hiring a Baby Whisperer to get some much-needed sleep, Wilder offers priceless life lessons on discipline, potty training, even phallic fiddling (courtesy of young London). He describes the perils of learning to live monodextrously (doing everything with one hand while carrying your child around with the other) and the joys of watching his daughter morph into a graceful, wise, unique little person right before his eyes. By turns tender, irreverent, and hysterically funny, Daddy Needs a Drink is a hilarious and poignant tribute to his family by a man who truly loves being a father.

Were not rich so it was very much makeshift, white tights and a black leotard, a headband with cute little cat ears on it. Her face was made up too, a big black nose and whiskers both painted by me. “How do I look, Daddy?” She squealed, jumping out from behind the wall. “Oh darling you look fantastic, come here and hug Daddy.” She vaulted the steps and landed in his arms, threw her legs and arms around him. He kissed her on the cheek and carried her to the sofa where she let her legs dangle down to stand on the cushions. He kissed her on top of her head, she wriggled away. She didn’t want to spoil her outfit or her cat hair. She jumped down from the sofa and wanted one more cuddle, her nose squashed into his belly. Then she went towards the cellar door. He stepped between her and the door. “You can't go down there baby.” She pouted. “Why not Daddy.” “Because I’ve made a Halloween special dungeon for us to play in when we get back from trick or treating. How does that sound.” Due to the sexually explicit nature of this book it is intended for mature readers OVER EIGHTEENS ONLY!

She’s super pretty and a bit of a brat. Jacob is a seriously hot man twice her age. Until a couple of weeks ago they had no idea the other even existed. That was when they discovered they are step brother and sister. This week they were left alone in the house, their parents away for a short holiday. Since he’d moved in things had been fine, now left alone in the house with him Chelsea finds that he’s not about to put up with her bad behaviour and she finds out a secret about him. Taster. Chelsea saw him at the window spying on her and her boyfriend making out in his car on the driveway. She stormed upstairs ready to confront Jacob, her new step brother. She banged on his bedroom door until he opened it. He stood in just a towel obviously fresh out of the shower. Then his towel dropped to the floor. She stood back unable to hide her shock. Her face reddened and she looked away but not before noting just how seriously fit and very well hung he was. She composed herself, barely. "What the fuck were you doing you pervert? I saw you looking out of the window watching me and Bradley. 'Bradley and I' he corrected her calm as you like. "Don't try to change the subject and put your fucking towel back on." "No." He said slowly and deliberately, she couldn't quite believe her ears. "I'm in my own room and I'll do as I please. You don't have to stand there." "But I want answers." She screamed. He turned his back to her and walked across the room, it was hard not to notice how fit he was from behind the perfect 'V' shape of his torso and his butt solid and unyielding as it rocked with his walk. He sat on the edge of his bed, and looked at her again. "Yes I bet you do. And I bet you're used to getting what you want too, aren't you my sweet little cheerleading sister brat." Her face went bright red. She was about to scream for her mother before she remembered they were alone in the house. "I'll get Bradley, he'll kick the shit out of you." "Go ahead princess. I suppose he must be able to do something right." "What's that supposed to mean pervert?" She spat. "Well like you say I watched you two at it in the car. He didn't seem to be very… well very good at what he was trying to do." She looked like she was going to pop. "What the hell do you know?" "I know that it takes longer than the five minutes your boyfriend took to satisfy a woman." "You know nuthin." "Oh sorry, my mistake I forgot you’re not a woman. Perhaps little girls like you are OK with a quick wham bam."
