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 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
