The World’s Worst Parents: David Walliams

Product Information

Mom spent the entire time I was involved with the family essentially blaming everything on the daughter’s outbursts and as much as said with her daughter present (and old enough to understand) “she was forced on me when he took off his condom” with regards to whether the daughter was planned or an accident. I spent several days working with this family and not once did I hear the mother say anything resembling love, affection, caring, kindness, or understanding towards her daughter and the vast majority of the time the mother was trying to elicit sympathy from other adults in terms of how difficult the kid was to manage. She made multiple disparaging comments about her daughter as if she wasn’t present in the room, coldly ignored her for large periods of time while sitting right next to her, etc. She very obviously still had her own trauma from the abusive ex and seemed to transplant all of her negativity towards him into her behavior towards her daughter. We had statements by police officers involved after one of the violent outbursts by the daughter that the mother told them (in front of daughter) “take her away, take her anywhere, I don’t care where she goes, just get her the hell out of my house.

I honestly don’t have a bad word to say about this book. I was genuinely laugh out loud funny, the stories were interesting and the illustrations were visually stunning. As an adult reading this book I had a wonderful reading experience, so I can only image the joy this book would bring to its target audience. I have no idea what happened following my involvement (I’m mostly investigative) but yeah…that kid’s got a rough future ahead no matter which of several possible scenarios plays out .Read this to guarantee some amazing laughs. You will enjoy it by yourself as well as in sharing with the little ones around you. Charlie Wilcox caught the world’s attention in 2011 when she revealed she’d smoked 3,500 cigarettes during the course of her pregnancy. The case has highlighted the dangers of internet addiction: a disturbingly common problem in South Korea. I don't blame this man queue are really irritating and my feet literally give up on me but I can probably go by one WITHOUT having my STANDING ON THE END, MY GLASSES STEAMING UP, MY NOSTRILS FLARING UP?, AND MY EARS FLAPPING?! I am not kidding around when I say that he went COO COO CRAZY when he sees queues. Again.... I would have given this story more if it wouldn't have been for the aunt and her teeth! WHO BITES THERE NEPHEW?! And Terry did take it too far from doing all the chaos he caused. And Helen Docherty said: "THANK YOU for saying what so many of us have been wanting to say. It's always felt like sour grapes to criticise Walli*ms, but a bit of me dies every time someone says he's their favourite author. The world has enough privileged white men peddling racist/sexist/classist tropes."

Walliams has his formula, and he knows his audience. For me, this is similar to the Teachers - over the top stereotypes, lots of bodily function jokes and silly lists (not complaining - they go down a storm), moral lessons for parents whose behaviour is ridiculously outlandish. During the pregnancy, the unborn child had dangerously high carbon monoxide levels, but this did not deter Charlie.This story was the one I was most exited about. Tho it is the most creative one out of all of them.....I had higher expectations of the story..... Don't get me wrong! Its a great story! Just not my cup of tea. I don't want to go in detail in this one cause this is about a mom who clean bogs. Now...there is no shame in hard work! But the thing that happened next........THE BOGS WERE ALIVE! THEY WERE SWALLOWING HUMANS! That was a MAJOR surprise! Last I heard, he FINALLY was able to get his own apartment, but I still see them around town together. I NEVER see him on his own. She’ll even go with him to the bathroom at the county fair… And I’m 27 now so he’s gotta be around 32ish. Pinch your nose for Peter Pong, the man with the stinkiest feet in the world… jump out of the way of Harriet Hurry, the fastest mum on two wheels… watch out for Monty Monopolize, the dad who takes all his kids’ toys… and oh no, it’s Supermum! Brandishing a toilet brush, a mop and a very bad homemade outfit…’ Askew showed little remorse. She didn’t even give her daughter any medical attention. What a biatch.

Millions of young readers have loved the World’s Worst Children tales and revelled in the World’s Worst Teachers with their delightfully dreadful deeds – now prepare for…THE WORLD’S WORST PARENTS! Charlie actually believed quitting smoking would’ve been detrimental to her baby’s health. Like how when you’re bashing your face into a wall you don’t want to stop because you know deep down anything that causes that much facial bruising must somehow be good for you. He was born with water on the brain (I know there’s a proper name for it but I forget). The doctors wanted to put a shunt in to drain the water and avoid damage. The parents refused for some reason, so the kid ended up with some slight brain damage. It probably wouldn’t have been too bad. He’d always be behind his peers and he’d be delayed but he had a good chance of being somewhat independent one day and living an overall happy life. Millions of young readers have loved the World’s Worst Children tales and revelled in the World’s Worst Teachers with their delightfully dreadful deeds – now prepare for…THE WORLD’S WORST PARENTS! From the phenomenally bestselling David Walliams and illustrated in glorious colour by the artistic genius, Tony Ross. Pinch your nose for Peter Pong, the man with the stinkiest feet in the world… jump out of the way of Harriet Hurry, the fastest mum on two wheels… watch out for Monty Monopolize, the dad who takes all his kids’ toys… and oh no, it’s Supermum! Brandishing a toilet brush, a mop and a very bad homemade outfit…

Into the World's Worst Teachers, and we have a pair of twins. Aww, child geniuses. Wait, their eyes aren't illustrated in the same way as other children's eyes in this book. They're....horizontal slits. The kids, the child genius kids with slits-as-eyes are called the Tang twins."

My son’s daycare class has a kid in it who’s missing an eye. He has an eyelid/lashes/etc, just was born without the tissue used to see with. He’s a completely normal looking kid, it just looks like one eye is always closed and instead of the roundness of an eyeball behind is flat since it’s missing. There’s nothing scary, or weird, or gross about him. All very silly, children will blaze through these short chapters alone or with parents reading. A few stood out for one reason or another - a parent who takes all his kids' toys reminded me of the Lego Movie and the Dad who won't let his children play with the family set, a Supermum who was actually pretty sympathetic (I am a Mum, after all!). The one who hit home for me was the Dad who queue jumped. That was a good one for unloading all your wrath onto. With his poor, embarrassed children in tow. Aside from their terrible parenting of their first child, they’ve completely destroyed their second child’s chance at a life. With that being said, the most frustrating for me was a mother who was emotionally and mentally abusive to a daughter who has mental health issues.My ex girlfriend and I had been dating for 3 years at the time this story takes place (let’s call her Caitlin). She herself had a friend who had taken an interest in her (let’s call him Timmy) and she had set him up with one of her friends (let’s call her Crystal). Pinch your nose for Peter Pong, the man with the stinkiest feet in the world… jump out of the way of Harriet Hurry, the fastest mum on two wheels… watch out for Monty Monopolize, the dad who takes all his kids toys… and oh no, it’s Supermum! Brandishing a toilet brush, a mop and a very bad homemade outfit… Once again the collaboration between David Walliams and Tony Ross was absolutely perfect. Tony Ross’ illustrations added an extra dimension to David Walliams’ wonderful stories. I honestly cant wait to see what these two come out with next.
