“Parenting Without Giving a F^ck,” is by far one of the best parenting books I’ve ever read. It’s full of practical advice for real parents, given with warmth and humor. Sue Donnellan writes with clear and understandable words that teach us how to raise independent, wise children who will still talk to us, even as teenagers. This book will be my new go-to baby shower present.”

“Sue has provided me with many sage pieces of advice about parenting. Most important, she’s taught me how to keep the lines of communication open with my kids. She offers age-appropriate advice on ways to get my kids to talk to me and has taught me tricks on just how to respond so they keep talking to me. She’s made a huge difference in my parenting style.”

“Sue Donnellan is the real deal when it comes to logical and common sensed based parenting hacks. Shortly after my divorce, I still had to live with my ex and finish co-parenting my last child to graduation. More than once, Sue provided guidelines to handle tense family interactions and strategies to rethink my communication, refocus my priorities, and reconnect with myself while still parenting and living with my ex.”

“After my first session with Sue, I felt more positive and prepared in my responses to my kids. My attitude changed and starting that day I had a completely different perspective, without holding onto guilt. The change in my household has been immediate.”

“Learn how to effectively communicate with your kids in a way that calms chaos and gets your kids happily involved in helping. Oddly, letting go and “caring less” worked magic for us. Parenting Without Giving a F^ck showed me specifically how to solve all my biggest parenting problems with ideas that are deceptively simple but incredibly effective. As a librarian, I’d love to see this book on the shelf of every library and bookstore. It’s a book I find myself continually referring to for that piece of encouragement or advice I need, without all the sugarcoating! I found it to be especially helpful as a single parent who is struggling to stay afloat. The ideas I learned, and now use daily, have been life changing!”

“I wish I could keep Sue in my back pocket to always have her with me! Her insights and advice have helped me every time I’ve not known what to do with my kids. Her ideas are imaginative, real, and they work. With my three kids spread out in age, she has always had a great understanding of every age and phase. She has feedback no one else will tell you and delivers it in a most colourful, blunt, and honest way.”

“It’s like having coffee with your best friend… or meeting for happy hour. Refreshing in its simplicity, Sue’s no-nonsense action plan to parenting will make you feel reenergized and ready to tackle the toughest of situations with the grace and patience of a sage grandparent. You will laugh your ass off, shake your head in amazement, and have these “ah ha” moments that will help you spark joy in your relationship with your children while providing them with strong roots and wings.”

“Sue has cleared up the mystery of parenting with her no-nonsense methods that are easy to do once you know about them. Working with Sue challenged me to become more confident in my parenting. As a single father, she gave me permission to disappoint my daughter when necessary, in order to take care of myself. Sue’s mentoring has been invaluable in helping me navigate my parenting challenges.”

Ron Kelley

“Sue provides a simple framework for parenting in a way that empowers you as a parent and your kids, avoiding power struggles. But don’t let the simplicity fool you. Her advice is some of the most powerful parenting advice I’ve ever heard. In one day of reading and implementing her Letting Go of Control and Partnership modules, I shifted a lifetime pattern that didn’t serve me or my kids. We’re all so much happier.”

Lisa Tener

“Sue has a knack for seeing through details and cutting to the heart of the matter with clarity and humor. She says what I need to hear, not mincing words, and I feel the truth of her insights in my heart. Her perspective and wisdom have helped my journey as a parent and deepened the relationship with my children, which is ultimately the most valuable asset of all.”

Emily Perkins

“If I could put this information on a flash drive and download it into my parent’s brain, I would.”

“Sue has a wealth of parenting knowledge. She gave me advice on parenting issues for my infant all the way up to my high schooler. She has no nonsense, practical advice that is sensible and effective. She has done her research, and raised four children of her own, she knows her stuff! I value her matter-of-fact strategies and logical solutions. She is passionate about raising happy, healthy, and productive children in a world that doesn’t always make it easy for parents. I don’t think there is any issue she can’t handle!”
