Description

A deeply, darkly funny (Ali Wong, comedian and New York Times bestselling author) collection of insightful and razor-sharp essays on motherhood in our post-apocalyptic world from comedian Natasha Leggero.

When Natasha Leggero got pregnant at forty-two after embarking on the grueling IVF process, she was over the moon. But once her feelings of bliss dissipated, she couldnt help but shake the lingering question: Am I doing this right And then, Should I be doing this if the world is about to end

In by far the funniest book (Chelsea Handler, New York Times bestselling author) about parenting, Natasha explores themes like geriatric pregnancy, parenting in an environmental panic, fear and love, discipline (and conflicting schools of thought on how not to raise a brat), and more. Ultimately, Natasha determines that motherhood is worth it. After all, where do you think the next five generations of humans will be if the only people who are having kids dont believe in science The world deserves my children.

Reviews

Ironicallyas Natasha hated breast feedingthis book is mothers milk for mothers.
Chelsea Peretti, comedian
This is by far the funniest book Ive ever read about parenting. If you have a child, you will die laughing. If you are childfree, you will laugh your ass off at everything you avoided by sticking to your guns about the true meaning of freedom.
Chelsea Handler, New York Times bestselling author of Life Will Be the Death of Me and You Too!
The only guide to motherhood after the apocalypse youll ever need. Deeply, darkly funny.
Ali Wong, New York Times bestselling author of Dear Girls
"[Natasha's] essays shine with wit and warmth, turning an irreverent eye toward what the future may hold for the global warming generation."Washington Post
In this irreverent debut no topic is off-limits; Leggero bares all about geriatric pregnancy, breastfeeding, parental anxiety, and her conversion to Jew-by-choice this will induce grins from stand-up fans whove been missing shows because they cant get a babysitter.
