Alec Baldwin writing a book on parenting. Stop laughing. We’re serious.

We can’t decide if this is funny or sad. Maybe both. Actor and awful father Alec Baldwin is writing a book on parenting. We assume it’s title will be “Do As I Say, Not As I Do.”

Ironically, he reveals his plans in family-friendly Playboy magazine:

“It will be ironic for some people, but I’m going to write a parenting book. We’re at… an awful place right now in terms of parenting. People are raising their children with the belief that we need to be friends with our children. Kids have too much power and call too many of the shots, telling their parents what they will and won’t do.”

Baldwin continues:

“People come home, walk up the driveway, put the key in the door, and they can’t do another hard job. Parenting your children effectively is a tough job.”

Here’s a sneak preview of the audio book version of Alec Baldwin’s Guide to Good Parenting. (It’s actually the god awful voicemail he left for his 11-year old daughter a few years ago, but we present it as a public service in hopes that no one – absolutely no one – will make the mistake of buying this lunatic’s parenting book).

Alec Baldwin’s advice? “Shut up and read my new book or I’ll beat the shit out of you.”

I hope he writes it in the style of his Fred Sanford impersonation. “Child, quit yer damn whining and pass me them collard greens right now ’cause I’ve half a mind to knock you upside the head!” Alec’s parenting skills are about as whacked as his politics, but damn if he ain’t funny sometimes.

Alec Baldwin speaks his mind, you may love or hate him….I wish he was on our side! Would love to attend a Mark Levin, Alec Baldwin book signing.

Maybe Octomom could be a co-author.

“Kids have too much power and call too many of the shots, telling their parents what they will and won’t do.”

He’s right about that, although I hate to admit it. However, Kevin Lehman (sp?) – who is actually a psychologist and father of five – has written a book about this already.
