If you stayed up pastmidnightto create posters for your PTO presidential campaign, do not read this book. If you look down your nose at parents who have Dominos pizza on speed dial, do not read this book.But if you are the kind of parent who accidentally goes ballistic on your rugrats every morning because they wont put their shoes on and then you feel super guilty about it all day so you take them to McDonalds for a special treat but really its because you opened up your freezer and panicked because you forgot to buy more frozen pizzas, then absolutely read this book.I Want My Epidural Back is a celebration of mediocre parents and how awesome they are and how their kids love them just as much as children with perfect parents. Karen Alperts honest but hilarious observations, stories, quips and pictures will have you nodding your head and peeing in your pants. Or on the toilet if youre smart and read it there.
