Any bad thought you’ve had about your kids, Nicole Knepper has had worse. Much worse. It’s not that she doesn’t love her kids. It’s that she understands what a mind-f*?% it can be to try to civilize those wild little beasts.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eBased on her hugely popular Facebook page, “Moms Who Drink and Swear,” this book reveals why family dinners are like herpes, how to avoid smashing toys that are being fought over, and the joy of hearing that your son has murdered his imaginary friend. As Nicole rants and raves about caring for children (without crushing their souls), family togetherness (without too many tears), the saving grace of girlfriends (and vodka), and love and marriage (and all the baggage that goes with them), she gets to the heart of what every exasperated mom is thinking, just much funnier.\u003cb\u003eRaves for Nicole Knepper\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Nikki has a way of connecting and resonating with moms that is almost magical and pretty much guarantees a bestselling book.”—Jill Smokler, author of \u003ci\u003eScary Mommy\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e“Nikki Knepper is one of a kind.

I wanted nothing to do with  those lies. Then I found Nikki and the Moms Who Drink and Swear blog.  She is honest about raising kids, being an adult child now in charge of  children, and everything that comes with the parenting gig. Nikki is the  parent, and writer, I want to be. Plus she smells nice. Not as nice as  glittery unicorn farts, but nice.”—Chris Illuminati, author of \u003ci\u003eA**holeology: The Cheat Sheet\u003c\/i\u003e\u003cp\u003e“Nicole Knepper has that rare combination of laugh-out-loud humor and genuine intelligence that makes her writing a go-to for parents who need to feel like someone 'gets them.'
