Stop feeling like sh*t for being a mom—laugh-out-loud affirmations for every parent

Guess what? This "parenting book" is not designed to make new parents feel bad. Authors and co-hosts of the popular comedy podcast One Bad Mother, Biz Ellis and Theresa Thorn, know firsthand that raising kids is tough. They also know that, most likely, parents are winning more than they're failing. This book reminds parents that it's okay to have a low bar. Celebrate what did happen, not what didn't, including gems such as:

  • Did you get up this morning? Great! You're doing an awesome job!
  • Your kid fell asleep? Even if it was just for two hours, that's amazing. Good job!
  • Has your kid eaten? That's probably your doing, so yeah, you're a winner!
  • The perfect gift for the growing family, You Are Doing a Great Job! is the much-needed reminder to screw all expectations and advice. It belongs on the shelf next to Go the Fu*k to Sleep and Let's Panic About Babies. Or better yet, tear out the pages and hang them up.

        Authors Ellis and Thorn found each other amid the chaos and too often disappointing early years of parenting. Tired of what they found to be society's uppity and unreasonably high expectations for parents, they joined forces to produce the podcast One Bad Mother. This offering, similar in spirit, provides 100 affirmations for moms everywhere by tapping the lowest hanging fruit: "Your kid pooped in the tub and nobody died. Poop in the tub happens to all of us at some point...but, it wasn't the end of the world. You just handled it. Good job!" Although the narrative is only mildly entertaining in spots, the presentation is excellent. Pink- and blue-colored pages, darling icon-like images, and compelling fonts and layouts make the book a pleasure to peruse. VERDICT Libraries can pass, but this may serve as a terrific baby shower gift.
