At last, there’s a parenting book that lifts your spirits instead of dragging you down. There Are Moms Way Worse Than You, authored by Glenn Boozan, delivers the reassuring message that parents urgently need.
When you’re feeling guilty about a quick fast food dinner for your child, just remember that koala mothers actually feed their babies poop—one of the many hilarious and insightful points from this new illustrated book that helps mothers feel better about their parenting skills. In There Are Moms Way Worse Than You: Irrefutable Proof That You Are Indeed A Fantastic Parent, Boozan explores the most questionable parenting practices in the animal kingdom, proving that human mothers are doing just fine.
The message is straightforward: as long as we’re not abandoning our children on ice floes or neglecting their basic needs, we’re doing great. Who cares if I forgot to take the wet laundry out of the washer when eagle mothers let their chicks face off in mortal combat? And what’s the harm in being late to a parent-teacher meeting when Lanyu skinks munch on their own eggs?
Boozan, a comedy writer who recently received a Writers Guild Award for her work on Conan, came up with this idea while comforting her sister, who was juggling a toddler and a pregnancy during the pandemic. Despite her sister’s self-doubt, Boozan saw her as a fantastic mom. “I wish I had offered her some beautiful wisdom,” Boozan shared, “but instead, I said, you know, hamster moms eat their babies.” This humorous take morphed into a heartfelt Mother’s Day poem, eventually leading to a larger project once her manager’s wife suggested it was worth sharing widely.
Now, with entertaining illustrations by Pricilla Witte, the book is already climbing the Amazon best-seller charts. And it’s catchy, too—it’s a rhyming delight! The next time you feel guilty about a messy home, remember: Sexton beetles raise their kids in a decomposing mouse. This should be a staple at every baby shower.
Though Boozan isn’t a mom herself, she believes her outsider perspective allows her to create an authentic and uplifting tribute to parenting. “I watch moms like a fan at a professional ice skating event,” she quips. “And the judges? They’re former skaters. I’m just here like, WOW—can’t we give them all gold medals?”
