Kids Make Me Angry

From the son who picked his father up from prison to the dad determined to break generational cycles, Kevin Hart delivers a raw, hilarious, and deeply honest memoir about the messy, beautiful journey of fatherhood.

Kevin Hart has built a career making people laugh, but in Kids Make Me Angry, he gets brutally honest about the one role that's tested him more than any other: being a dad.

Growing up, Kevin's father was everything a parent shouldn't be, taking his money instead of giving him an allowance and getting into fights instead of keeping him out of them. But when Kevin got the call that his father was dying, something extraordinary happened. Surrounded by Kevin's own children at his bedside, his father transformed, filling with energy and love in his final moments, showing Kevin that even the most broken cycles can be healed.

Now a father of four navigating everything from potty training disasters to teenage surveillance, Kevin takes listeners through the eight phases of parenting, from cluelessness to protection, from the parrot years (when kids imitate everything) to the terrifying moment of letting go. With his signature humor and surprising vulnerability, he shares the chaos of balancing fatherhood with fame, the pressure of being the parent he never had, and the profound realization that sometimes loving your kids means accepting you'll mess up along the way. Half memoir, half manual, and 100% proof that parenting is basically just getting heckled by toddlers, Kids Make Me Angry offers the advice you need and the laughs you deserve.
