Somewhere out there, a sea turtle has already laid her eggs and left for happier waters. Meanwhile, a sand tiger shark lets her babies fight it out before they’re even born.

Some Moms Suck Way More Than You isn’t another parenting book telling you how to be better.
It offers something many moms need more: reassurance, perspective, and relief from the pressure to get everything right.

Most parenting books focus on skills and strategies.
This one starts a different conversation.

And if you’re curious about what to avoid as a parent, nature has plenty to teach us.
