Some parts were absolutely hilarious, especially in the 1st 1/3. In fact in the 1st 1/3 of the book, I only cringed once.The second 2/3s I cringed more than I even thought "Ha" and honestly could not even read it all; I surfed through the titles of the chapters and guessed whether I would find it funny or not.Despite the fact that I actually did find the moment when I stopped liking the book and calculated the % that was good (33 1/3 %) and the % that I could do with out (66 2/3 %), I actually do have a great sense of humor. I'm mostly bummed that I can't count this toward my annual goal or my library summer reading program. If you’ve ever slipped a sickish kid into preschool, said something racially awkward on the playground, or guarded the identity of your first string babysitter like a state secret, you might be a sh*tty mom. Don’t worry! This book offers exactly the absolution and advice you need to survive the years (and years and years) of parenting ahead. Whether you need to laugh at yourself or scoff at the other moms, this book does the trick like magic, page after page. I’m Team Sh*itty. You should be, too.
What do You think about Shtty Mum (2012)?
Good, just not great. It's was only mildly funny, imo. The title got the biggest rise out of me.

I laughed out loud. Even in inappropriate places like the hospital surgery waiting room.
