Publisher Description
If you feel like your kids are killing you, you’ve come to the right place. Attention all potty-mouthed, cheap-wine-drinking mothers: Prepare to meet your match. Any bad thought you’ve had about your kids, Nicole Knepper has had worse. Much worse. It’s not that she doesn’t love her kids. It’s that she understands what a mind-f*?% it can be to try to civilize those wild little beasts. Based on her hugely popular Facebook page, “Moms Who Drink and Swear,” this book reveals why family dinners are like herpes, how to avoid smashing toys that are being fought over, and the joy of hearing that your son has murdered his imaginary friend. As Nicole rants and raves about caring for children (without crushing their souls), family togetherness (without too many tears), the saving grace of girlfriends (and vodka), and love and marriage (and all the baggage that goes with them), she gets to the heart of what every exasperated mom is thinking, just much funnier.

“I had this idea in my head about what mommy and daddy bloggers wereall about—posts about how wonderful raising children and life with little onesand how every day of parenting was a magical gift, like a glitter-filled fartfrom a baby unicorn. I wanted nothing to do with those lies. Then I found Nikkiand the Moms Who Drink and Swear blog. She is honest about raising kids,being an adult child now in charge of children, and everything that comes withthe parenting gig. Nikki is the parent, and writer, I want to be.”
