About This Book
A laugh-out-loud funny collection of insightful and razor-sharp essays on motherhood in our post-apocalyptic world from comedian Natasha Leggero.When Natasha Leggero got pregnant at forty-two after embarking on the grueling IVF process, she was over the moon. But once her feelings of bliss dissipated, she couldn't help but shake the lingering question: Am I doing this right? And then, Should I be doing this if the world is about to end? In The World Deserves My Children, Natasha explores themes like "geriatric" motherhood, parenting in an environmental panic, fear and love, discipline (and conflicting schools of thought on how not to raise a brat), and more. Ultimately, Natasha determines that motherhood is worth it. After all, where do you think the next five generations of humans will be if the only people who are having kids don't believe in science? The world deserves my children.
Reviews
"Consistently uproarious."
"The benefits and headaches of later-life motherhood from a candid, often hilarious comedic mind."
"Leggero's style is breezy, sometimes over-the-top, with punchline quips punctuating her anecdotes."
"Parents without the luxury of a nanny may also raise eyebrows when yet another celebrity laments lack of leisure time."
