"Funny, frank, indulgent . . . this guide is free of the earnestness that weighs down so many advice books for new mothers." —Oprah.comThere is no better time to up your self-care game than when you''re pregnant. You''re indulging for two! Though societal pressure demands that you completely forfeit your life, your independence, and your sacred shallowness to motherhood, this book is a rallying cry to resist. Join author Betty Londergan as she delivers a delightful diatribe on how to keep your cool vibe alive while you''re busy raising the planet''s next generation. From your first trimester through the early months of motherhood, the baby''s first birthday and beyond, here are 101 rules to help you keep sane, grounded, and fabulous on the bumpy road to motherhood. Such as:- Don''t let them tell you how much you weigh- Beware the nutrition nazis- Nest away- Consider the midwife/doula option- Buy some cool bracelets (because you''re gonna have a thousand photos of your forearms holding The Baby)- Develop a high gross-out threshold- Buy new underwear- Choose the right preschool (and other anxiety attacks)Along with tips for single and working moms, Londergan shares advice from her own friends with different perspectives to give readers a well-rounded reference for breastfeeding angst, sleep deprivation, natural birth vs. cesarean sections, and more (including a list of feel-good movies for knocked-up gals). "Frisky and funny, her book is also honest, useful and sensitive to the latest anxieties." —The New York Times"This fun, flip approach to pregnancy and parenting pays equal attention to minute details (clothes and mani-pedis) and larger ideas (single motherhood)." —Publishers Weekly

"A recommended read for parents . . . packed with hilarious stories, tips from former teens, parental traps to avoid, and so much more." —About Families MagazineThere comes a time in every parent''s life when they realize their daughter has become possessed and their son has turned into a zombie, or vice versa. Welcome to adolescence, in all its debilitating glory. When Betty Londergan—author of the pregnancy and early motherhood book I''m Too Sexy for My Volvo—reached that stage, she realized that since there''s nothing funny about raising a teenager, it''s time for a book that is. The Agony and the Agony breaks the teenage years down into the five stages of grief—denial, anger, depression, bargaining, and acceptance—putting a humorous spin on each one. You''ll learn:- The classic signs of adolescence, from physical changes and mood swings to crushing shifts in communication- How to prevent your unwitting descent into teen pop culture while controlling how much of it your child ingests- Sex talk strategies and how to juggle teens of different sexual orientations- Methods to stop the nasal assault wafting from teens simmering in a soup of hormones- Reasons why to not obsess over college applications - How to weather the perfect storm: when puberty and menopause collide under one roof- Creative ways to reinvent yourself as an empty nester- And more!"Readers seeking savvy practical advice as well as sympathy for their plight during the teen years won''t be disappointed," though their wine budgets may never recover (Publishers Weekly).
