Details: Are you the world’s worst parent? Could be, but you won’t know for sure till your child starts writing confessional poetry, asks to speak to the manager at an Applebee’s, or launches a YouTube channel. In the meantime, let the humorists of McSweeney’s guide you through every step of parenthood, from IVF to empty nest. This practical anthology collects the most popular parenting humor writing from McSweeney’s Internet Tendency, plus loads of brand-new quizzes, lists, musings, questionable advice, harangues, primal screams, and more. An essential handbook for aspiring helicopter moms, disaffected soccer dads, and hovercrafting basketballing aunts/uncles/cousins―or anyone else who needs something to read while holed up in the bathroom for some “me” time.
