Sh*tty Mom: The Parenting Guide for the Rest of Us

A New York Times bestseller, Sh*tty Mom is the ultimate parenting guide, written by four moms who have seen it all--Emmy Award-winning producers Alicia Ybarbo and Mary Ann Zoellner, Emmy-nominated writer Laurie Kilmartin, and journalist Karen Moline.

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.

"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

"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." --New York Observer
