There's no question . . . Divorce Sucks. And perhaps no one knows that better than author Mary Jo Eustace, whose ex-husband Dean McDermott married Tori Spelling a mere thirty days after their divorce was finalized. One part tell-all and one part guide to get readers on their feet after a bitter breakup, this hilarious addition to the bestselling Sucks series tells everything readers don't want to know about divorce - from what a phone call with a lawyer will cost; to how to handle your newer, younger replacement; to what Hollywood divorcees are actually thinking when they watch their ex walk the red carpet with a millionairess. Sometimes horrifying, sometimes gratifying, and never merciful, this book will give readers an inside look at one of today's most public divorces while reminding them - hey, it could always be worse.

With the signature hilarity that has made the Sucks series a hit, Kimes and Laccinole tackle bedtime, naptime, and all the wakey-wake time on the way to a full night's sleep. Do you suffer from sleep deprivation because... --Your baby only dozes off in your arms--rendering you unable to move? --Your toddler refuses to nap and only goes to bed after five bedtime stories, three glasses of water, and the binkie that can never ever be washed? --One expert tells you to let them scream themselves to sleep, while another says the family bed is best? One thing's for sure: Nobody sleeps if the children don't. Amid all the conflicting advice, Bedtime Sucks is the only book to admit that trying to get your kid to sleep sure does suck! Inside, authors Joanne Kimes and Kathleen Laccinole cover: --Good sleep habits that start in the womb; --The Zen Commandments of getting the baby to sleep through the night; --Why the hand that rocks the cradle is the one that's constantly exhausted; and --Travel dos and don'ts, potty training troubles, how to juggle more than one sleepy child at a time, and more.
