review 1: A hilarious survival guide for the contemporary mom. With chapters like "when seeing an infant triggers a mental illness that makes you want to have a baby," "how to deal with moms who exercise," and "motherfucking babies on the motherfucking plane," this book made me laugh out loud and made me feel a little less evil for some of the thoughts that cross my mind. Just remember, if you are the mom who thought to pack a backup pacifier then move along, princess.Eagerly awaiting Sh*tty Dad.
review 2: OK, so I'm rating this as a comedic novella, not as a parenting guide.This book is hysterical, like read bits aloud to my husband hysterical.There are tongue-in-cheek sections, as the oft quoted here Taking Your Sick Kid to Daycare (seriously that pissed me off so much... more when my kid was an infant, how dare other parents expose her to their child's germs?! Now she's a toddler and constantly oozing, I'm "paying it forward" too.)And on playground squabbles: "Only rookies assume their kid is innocent."But there's also bits of truth, that make you feel not so alone compared to all the damn SAHMs and over-achieving craft-making moms: "Your baby will give you the backbone you've always longed for, and she'll do it by sucking the life out of you."The authors do a great job of finding humor in motherhood all over the spectrum; sons, daughters, singles, many, working moms, single moms, and married moms.But, if you're not the type that enjoys a sarcastic sense of humor, this isn't the book for you. less
