Moms Who Drink and Swear

Belly laughs abound in this memoir of birthing and raising children with the support of some very good BFF's. The author's unfiltered complaints and locker-room language will allow moms to free up reactions they normally suppress and be reassured that venting anger, drinking excessively, and bending rules are absolutely necessary to survive being a mom. Knepper's vocal tone is that of a worldly middle-schooler whose shtick is equal parts chutzpah, self-deprecating honesty, and a bottomless supply of one-liners. Her phrasing of this in-your-face writing makes every sentence clear and understandable. Overall, this is one of the most liberating parenting audios ever made because it validates reactions moms are told not to feel, while celebrating the effort and love they put into raising their children day after day.
