I Want My Epidural Back

âKaren is the best mom friend we all wish we had - hilarious, refreshingly honest, and gutsy enough to saw what we all wish we could!❠Informationen zum Autor Karen Alpert loves her family, chocolate and writing, in that order. So when she's not taking care of her kiddos or drinking Hershey's syrup straight from the bottle, she's probably working on her blog Baby Sideburns where she entertains hundreds of thousands of stressed out parents every day. She is a New York Times bestselling author and also an expert nagger who relentlessly badgers her husband until he finally breaks down and does what she wants. Klappentext Now that I'm a mom, I know the most painful part isn't getting something giant through your hooha. It's having a real live child. If you're the kind of mom who shapes your kiddo's organic quinoa into reproductions of the Mona Lisa, do not read this book. If you stayed up past midnight to create posters for your PTO presidential campaign, do not read this book. If you look down your nose at parents who have Domino's Pizza on speed dial, do not read this book. But if you are the kind of parent who accidentally goes ballistic on your rugrats every morning because they won't put on their shoes and then you feel super guilty about it all day so you take them to McDonald's for a special treat but really it's because you opened your freezer and panicked because you forgot to buy more frozen pizzas, then absolutely read this book. I Want My Epidural Back is a celebration of mediocre parents and how awesome they are, and how their kids love them just as much as children with perfect parents do. Karen Alpert's honest but hilarious observations, stories, quips, and pictures will have you nodding your head and peeing in your pants. Or on the toilet, if you're smart and read it there.
