The premise is simple: as long as we aren’t eating or abandoning our young on an ice floe, we’re killing it. Review, 12/4/22: I bought this for my sister for Christmas, and is it really a gift if you don't read it first yourself? My grandmother bought me all the Harry Potter books over my teenage years, and read each of them before she gave them to me. That's true love. (At least, of books.) Bianca Schulze: You don’t ever hear about quokkas. And so, I loved that. And, if anybody was to write about a Quokka, I’m pretty sure they wouldn’t highlight what you highlighted—is that the moms tossed their kids to the prey as a decoy to keep themselves safe from predators. Yes, I did not know that again. So here I am, excited. Oh, look. It’s the cute quokka. And then no. Sorry. Quokkas. A hilarious and reassuring gift for every because we’re all doing the best we can, and the natural world is filled with moms worse than you! Glenn Boozan: Isn’t that one great? She wrote a whole rhyme scheme. I was like, well, it’s funnier than what I—it’s better than what I wrote.Bianca Schulze: Yeah, you wrote it. And I’m a true believer that sometimes we can get so caught up in the trenches of our own lives that it takes someone with the ability to look in from the outside to shed a little bit of light or, in this case, bring a little comedy to lighten the mood. Glenn Boozan’s hopes for There Are Moms Way Worse Than You: Irrefutable Proof That You Are Indeed a Fantastic Parent. Bianca Schulze: So yeah, and it’s totally fine to go put your kid in front of the TV to get that darn shower.

I wish I had said some sort of beautiful quote about motherhood, but what I said was, you know, hamster moms eat their babies.” Bianca Schulze: On a deeper level, although one might argue that a good belly laugh is pretty darn deep. But what impact do you hope that your book has on readers?Glenn Boozan: Well, when you turn 12, a wizard sends you a letter in the mail and says, you’re a comedy writer, Harry, and then you go to comedy school. No, it’s a much more boring process than that. I still don’t really know how to become a comedy writer. There Are Moms Way Worse Than You: Irrefutable Proof That You Are Indeed A Fantastic Parent is the brainchild of Glenn Boozan, who has researched all of the very worst parental habits of the natural world and uses it as proof that human mothers are all doing fine. Comedy writer Glenn Boozan has written the mother of all books to make us moms feel better about ourselves. Nobody benefits from me being mean to myself. My work doesn’t get done faster or doesn’t get done better. The people around me don’t like me more and it doesn’t serve anyone. And so, I think that just that little thought sometimes helps me realize, like, oh, okay, I can calm down. Like, the stakes of this are not as high as I think. If I make a mistake, that’s fine. No one’s going to die, you know? No one’s going to explode unless you’re a quokka, baby. Bianca Schulze: You’re welcome. And it’s just so great to have this gift to share with moms where we can just look on the light side and the bright side on the days that feel a bit harder.
