There Are Moms Way Worse Than You: Irrefutable Proof That You Are Indeed a Fantastic Parent
A hilarious and reassuring gift for every mom: because we're all doing the best we can, and the natural world is filled with moms worse than you!
A mom giraffe is pretty nice until the fetus drops.
She'll birth a newborn baby calf, then kick him 'til he walks.
Whenever you feel guilty that you haven't cleaned the house:
Sexton beetles raise their kids in a decomposing mouse.
A koala mom will feed her kids her own poop. Yes, poop. Panda moms will abandon one twin because raising two is, well, just too much. And every now and then a cuddly little hamster mom will -yup- eat her newborn pups.
These and other true facts from the animal kingdom offer a hilarious reality check on what constitutes "good parenting." So, human mother, time to stop worrying about the job you're doing -because you're a great mom.

So…animals are ruthless. I laughed. I was horrified. I was impressed. And in the end, I feel better about the times I feel I have not been my best. So, thanks ruthless parents of the animal kingdom.

A very funny and (somewhat educational) book for new moms! You learn all kinds of (kinda gross) and interesting facts about animal moms, and the illustrations are adorable and fun. And the book is right--when put into perspective, there ARE moms way worse than you.

Gave me a chuckle and reminded me I am a decent enough parent for sure. A must read for anyone needing that reminder.
