Book Synopsis

Do you ever feel like you're failing miserably at parenting? Do your kids keep acting like douchenuggets no matter what you do? Then this book is for you.

Just like you.

Featuring side-splittingly funny pictures, stories, and chapters like:

• You Are Not Your Kiddo's Servant​

• If They Say "I Hate You," Then You're Probably Doing It Right

Mamas Don't Let Your Babies Grow Up to Be A-Holes will make you laugh, cry, laugh until you cry, and feel like you're having coffee (and a little sumpin' in it) with a best friend who has some of the answers to THE hardest job on earth: parenting. And maybe, just maybe, it might help you get the a-hole out of your kids*
