There comes a time in every new mother’s life when she finds herself staring at her screaming, smelly “bundle of joy” and wishing someone had told her that her house would reek of vomit, or that she shouldn’t buy the cute onesies with a thousand unattainable buttons, or that she might cry more than the baby.
Best-selling humor creator Dawn Dais, mother to a one-year-old and creator of
The Sh!t No One Tells You About Toddlers, is convinced that there’s a reason for this lack of preparedness. She believes that a vast conspiracy exists to hide the horrific truth about parenting from doe-eyed expectant mothers who might in a different way abandon their babies in hospitals and run for it. In The Sh!t No One Tells You, Dais tells it love it is, revealing what it’s in reality like to be a new parent and providing helpful insights, humor, and hope for individuals who feel overwhelmed by the exhausting trials they’re suddenly facing. Eschewing the adorableness that oozes out of other parenting books, Dais offers real advice from real moms—together with hilarious anecdotes, clever tips, and the genuine encouragement every mom needs with a view to live to tell the tale the first year of parenthood.
