Synopsis

There comes a time in every new mother's life when she realizes that all the pregnancy well-wishes and baby shower gifts left her profoundly unqualified for the realities of life with a newborn. Who knew there would be so much crying—and how much of that crying would be coming from the mom?

Bestselling author Dawn Dais believes that a vast conspiracy exists to hide the truth about parenting from expectant mothers for fear that if the truth got out, women would (1) stop having babies or (2) stop bringing them home. Eschewing the adorableness that oozes out of other parenting books, Dais offers real advice from real moms—along with hilarious anecdotes, tips, and the encouragement every new mom needs to survive the first year of parenthood.

Revised and updated with new chapters offering advice for single moms and tips for partners, The Sh!t No One Tells You is a must-have companion for every new mother's sleepless nights and poop-filled days.

I could have written this book. Every word (except the vaccines chapter because OMG GET OVER YOURSELF AND JUST VAX YOUR KIDS JESUS PLEASE). It's not so useful for knowledge, but supremely important for solidarity.......more

Goodreads review by Elizabeth on March 11, 2018

I was really expecting this book to be a lot more enjoyable than it was. There are a couple of points I'd like to make on how it disappointed me. For one, I thought the humor was pretty forced. There were a lot of jokes that just weren't really funny, the kind of jokes I am subject to often as a new......more

Funny book until I got to the chapter about vaccinations. Talk to your friends and do your own research, seriously?......more
