Sh*tty Mom is the ultimate parenting guide, written by four moms who have seen it all. As hilarious as it is universal, each chapter presents a common parenting scenario with advice on how to get through it in the easiest and most efficient way possible. With chapters such as How to Sleep Until 9 A.M. 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 alsono small thingcarries 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 momscomedy writers, TV producers, and a novelistblast 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. Its 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 parentingsubversive, delicious, and spit-out-your-latte funny. --Pamela Druckerman, bestselling author of Bringing Up Bebe

Truth! 😭😭😭

I cannot STOP worrying about things that may never happen!

Notafraidofwords So so true. 8y

Omg, I am dying of laughter here. I don't even know if I should be upset or offended or amused. In my defense, I have both a dog and a kid.

Some context - author is talking about situations where the mom is stressed from caring for her child and there comes that other lady who considers herself a mom because she has a dog. (I used to be that other lady.) She is stating some funny reasons why it's not worth having the kid vs dog argument.

😂😂 Glad that I was not the only one who fell for those ads/posters showing blissful moms and their quiet smiling babies! My favorite place to breastfeed? The bed (at least I can get a few zzz) and the office chair (while I read on my phone without the babe noticing). 😜

LauraBeth And if you go back to work then you will have to shut your office door and pump while your boss keeps knocking on your door... 8y
readingonarainyday @LauraBeth Oh yeah that is the worst! There's no way to hurry pumping either. 8y

On how to get out of work when your kid is sick... "Remember: No matter how supportive your coworkers pretend to be, it‘s a lie. And there‘s only one way to offset a lie, and that‘s to tell another lie." ?

britt_brooke Added! I love funny parenting books. 😄 8y
Beckys_Books I need to read this since I feel like the sh*ttiest mother of them all most of the time. 8y
AvidReader25 @Beckys_Books I think we all feel that way sometimes. 8y

I wouldn't use this as a true parenting guide, but I do recommend reading it when you feel like you're about to go nuts...or lost, overwhelmed. Reading this made me laugh and feel not as sh*tty of a mom. LOL!
