Danny Ricker, head writer and co-executive producer of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!", has penned a book titled "Wow, You Look Terrible! How to Parent Less and Live More". Encouraged by Kimmel, Ricker blends humor and practicality to address the challenges parents face in maintaining their identities after children. He emphasizes the relatable struggle of feeling like a 'butler' to toddlers and shares amusing anecdotes about his own parenting experiences, alongside valuable tips for managing time, finances, and mental health effectively, helping parents reconnect with their past lives.
In one chapter, Ricker found a way to turn five-minute bedtime stories into five-second stories! One line stuck with me: 'For 30 years you felt like Batman, and you woke up one day and you were Alfred.'
The book is for people who feel they used to have a life; they were their own person, and now, they feel like a butler to a 3-year-old in dirty sweatpants.
