#IMomSoHard
by Kristin Hensley
Kristin Hensley and Jen Smedley built a massive following by saying the things most parents are too tired or embarrassed to admit out loud. This book is an extension of that friendship, reading less like a formal memoir and more like a long, wine-fueled conversation with your funniest, most honest friend. It covers the absurdities of leaking breasts, the impossible standards of school projects, and the general feeling that you are winging it every single day. The pacing is snappy and conversational, perfectly capturing the chaotic rhythm of life with children. If you are exhausted by the curated perfection of social media parenting and just want to laugh at the messiness of it all, this is your book. It is a warm, validating hug for anyone who has ever hidden in a pantry just for five minutes of silence.
