I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.
I just LOVE books about parenting, either neutral (parents in general) or books for moms or dads specifically. I don’t have kids myself, and not planning on any (for reasons), but I just cannot resist reading books about parenting. I don’t know why, maybe because when I was a teen I wanted to work with kids. When I saw this book pop up on Netgalley I knew I had to get it. The title sounded brilliant (and I also love the alternatives to the title which are listed in the book) and the blurb sounded hilarious.
This book is full with all sorts of fun, hilarious things. From anecdotes/stories/tips, to quotes to jokes to a periodic table full of essentials for moms to lists about things like: How to look like you have your shit together (pina coladas and pens and fancy hobbies), checklists, quizzes, and there is much much more and so I can assure you that you won’t have a moment of boredom. You will fly to one page and the next never knowing what is on the next page (well, unless it is a two-pager then you know

I've been picking at different parenting-related books in the last year, and none of them really work for me. Some are a bit too froo-froo, super Mombie style. Some are a little too COMPLIMENT NEVER. WORK ALWAYS.
This one?
Call me Goldilocks, because this is just right.

A book that covers all that's...shitty about being a parent. From dirty diapers to tantruming kids, to the messes they make, this book has it all, interspersed with tongue in cheek advice and cosmo-style quizzes to find out what type of mom you are. I loved just about every page, and laughed out loud for some of it! It's a colorful book that will catch your eye and make you feel like maybe, just maybe, you aren't the only mom out there losing their shit while others around you seem to have everything down pat.
The only thing I didn't particularly care for was the amount of "mommy culture" booze references. Yeah, kids are a freaking handful and will make you lose your mind, but you also don't need to become an alcoholic while you do so.

Omg I loved this book so much!! I repeatedly had to stop and show my husband pages laughing hysterically. If you’re a mom of young kids and enjoy dirty humor this will put a smile on your face and you’ll want to share with all your mom friends.

As a mom of two kids under the age of five, I feel like my soul is in this book. Loved it so much and it kept me laughing all the way through.

I’m writing this review whilst sitting next to my toddler, sssh-ing him to sleep.
A very recognisable book and absolutely brilliant to put everything in perspective.
I’m gifting this to all new moms in my surroundings.

This was funny, and I totally get what they were going for, but it just wasn’t really for me. There were a couple times I was like “yas! preach” about being a hot mess or kids getting on your nerves, I didn’t super relate to a lot of it about drinking especially. I can definitely see giving this as a fun gift for a mom who needs to know they aren’t alone, though.

This is a great palate cleanser if you’ve recently read a parenting book that made you feel judged and like you’re doing it wrong. It’s hilarious and feel-good at the same time.

Thank you NETGALLEY for a Advanced Reader Copy in exchange for an honest review!
I have been reading this over the past week during middle of the night feedings (yay having a infant) and let me say... this is the most relatable book I've read in a long time.
I was cracking up in my nursing chair agreeing with almost every page, and the things I haven't experienced yet made me excited to know that I'll not only be experiencing them alone now.
This is a very comical, lighthearted collection of thoughts on what it's like to be a mother and every mom needs this book. It's my new best friend.

Thank you for the e-arc NetGalley. Boy does this woman get it. Every Mom out there should grab a copy of this book and laugh their asses off like I did. If you didn’t go through/tolerate/barely make it through, all the fun things she discusses in this book then I feel sorry for you because you can’t commiserate with your fellow Mamas. This was awesome and I highly recommend it to any Mom with a sense of humor. #mommycusses #netgalley
