From the founder of That’s Inappropriate—one of the most popular parenting blogs on the web—comes a hilarious, genuine, and relatable essay collection on the ups and downs of motherhood.

Synopsis:

Meredith Masony founded That’s Inappropriate in 2014 as an innocent and humorous way to chronicle her chaotic days as a working mom, child wrangler, and busy wife. It soon evolved into a massive, dynamic community of parents—now nearly three million strong—brought together by their shared belief that parenthood and marriage don’t have to be perfect.

Now, in Ask Me What’s for Dinner One More Time, Meredith shares her collection of witty essays on the universal frustrations of being a mom in today’s world, presenting her laugh-out-loud perspective on sex, aging, anxiety, friendship, and much more. Perfect for fans of Jenny Lawson, Laura Clery, and Jen Mann, these essays provide laughter, relief, validation, and “a metaphorical hug for all of those moments you spend crying on your bathroom floor, thinking that you are failing at the hardest job on the planet.”

Review:

Motherhood isn't for the front of heart, ain't neither is this book, which bares it all, good and bad. Meredith has been through some life challenges, including multiple kids in diapers at the same time and feeding with her mother-in-law. We've all been there, and maybe said some of what she says to our Bestie, but not necessarily to anyone elses..but Meredith has learned life is precious and it's better to scream, shout and call it for what it is. Her language might not be for everyone, but her life with kids, and in-laws, are universal! This should be recommended reading for newlyweds and definitely for parents-to-be! Just don't drink anything while reading because a) you might choke from laughing while trying to swallow a sip of your drink or b) you'll snort out your drink all over while laughing!
