Every Weekend&; and &;When Seeing an Infant Triggers a Mental Illness That Makes You Want to Have Another Baby,&; as well as a Sh*tty Mom quiz, this is a must-have, laugh-out-loud funny book for the sh*tty parent in all of us.
Praise for Sh*tty Mom:
&;A totally hilarious and uncensored look at some of the impossible situations we mothers find ourselves in.&; &;TheBump.com
&;Smartly, brashly, nearly criminally funny. It also&;no small thing&;carries a powerful message to all parents, but especially moms, that distilled to its essence is this: chill.&; &;Time.com
&;As the attachment parenting craze has hit a zenith in American culture, four very funny moms&;comedy writers, TV producers, and a novelist&;blast open a long-locked safe filled with frustrations faced by all modern mothers, with sympathetic and sharp humor. . . . The authors&; unfiltered candor is a welcome reminder for readers that they're not alone. . . .&; &;Publishers Weekly starred review
&;Both funny and practical.&; &;Brooklyn Based.net
"Hilariously entertaining. A must-read survivor's guide for every mother!"
--Christy Turlington Burns, founder of Every Mother Counts
&;Finally, Sh*tty Mom does for motherhood what Chelsea Handler does for female scatology. It&;s a long overdue little burst of honesty from the supposed minority of mothers who are, in fact, not that maternal. . . . After a generation of supermoms one-upping each other in dead earnest on playgrounds and schoolyards, the emerging mass appeal of Sh*tty Mom is a welcome relief.&; &;The New York Observer
"Witty, wise, and wicked! With tongue planted firmly in cheek, these savvy moms dispense some much needed comic relief about raising kids in our crazy culture."?
--Dr. Harvey Karp, bestselling author of The Happiest Baby on the Block
&;The most inappropriate parenting book I've ever read. Loved it. The perfect book for any mother who wants to laugh instead of cry at those cringe-worthy moments and the universal indignities we experience on a daily basis.&;
--Jessica Seinfeld, bestselling cookbook author and founder of Baby Buggy
&;An antidote to the hostage situation that is modern parenting&;subversive, delicious, and spit-out-your-latte funny.&;
--Pamela Druckerman, bestselling author of Bringing Up Bebe
