Synopsis

The comedian, actor, television host, podcast king, and New York Times bestselling author of President Me, Not Taco Bell Material, and In Fifty Years We’ll All Be Chicks now lays down the law on the plight of the modern parent.Parents, do you often think that if your kids had to grow up the way you did—without iPads, 70-inch flatscreen TVs, American Girl dolls, and wifi in the climate controlled minivan—that they might actually be better off? Do you feel underappreciated or ignored? Do you worry you’re raising a bunch of spoiled softies who will never know how to do anything themselves—because you do everything for them? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you need Daddy, Stop Talking.Adam rips parenthood a new one, telling it straight about what adults must do if they don’t want to have to support their kids forever. Using his own crappy childhood as a cautionary tale, and touting the pitfalls of the kind of helicopter parenting so pervasive today, Daddy, Stop Talking is the only parenting book you should ever read. Here, too, is sage advice to Adam’s own kids—and to future parents—on what matters most: dating; drinking and drugs; buying your first house and car; puberty; and what kind of assholes his kids (and yours) should avoid becoming. Even if his own son and daughter pretty much ignore everything he says, you shouldn’t. And you’re welcome. Again.

Goodreads review by Jason on October 08, 2015

My expectations for this one were low considering how fast Carolla has been pumping these out and how disappointed I was with his last one, 'President Me'. But this was fantastic from start to finish, with the jokes expertly crafted and coming hard just about every sentence. There were more laughs p......more

Mr Carolla can be funny, but he truly needs an editor. He can't just write down every thought he has, and needn't share his bodily functions.......more

I like Adam Carolla and I loved this book. Short book on parenting and dealing with the changes in parenting since “we were kids”. The ingratitude, unreasonable expectations, wastefulness, etc.... it made me laugh out Loud multiple times today. I did get though this in a day, really enjoyed Adam’s br......more

Goodreads review by Randee on June 11, 2017

I think Adam Carolla is a pretty smart and funny guy. I have not seen him do stand up or any of his TV shows, but I've listened to some of his podcasts. My friend also loaned me an audio tape of his book 'President Me' which was even funnier than this book. Adam sounds like he is well grounded, has......more

Goodreads review by ROBYN on May 19, 2016

Adam (Ace) Carolla is a very smart (as well as funny )guy and I've read all his books. I don't agree with everything he writes;like the tired stereotype that women drivers are not as good as male drivers (though I expect he's pulling our leg a lot the time) But,In short,I got quite a few laughs and......more
