Some other mommyhood myths she humorously debunks include: You'll Be Back to Your Old Self in No Time, Boys Are Easier Than Girls, Being Home With Your Kids Is the Most Fulfilling Job in the World, Parenting Strengthens a Marriage, It Gets Easier, and many more. Including funny sidebars and helpful tips, as well as a "eulogy" to Jill's pre-baby body, this witty and outrageously truthful collection is sure to make you laugh out loud... and perhaps even cry... in solidarity.« less
