*Thank you to Gallery Books and author Meredith Masony for a copy of this book in exchange for my honest feedback. All thoughts are my own.

Too funny! If you are mom and don't mind an F-bomb here and there, then this book is for you. It was an easy light read, making it an enjoyable change up when you are just wanting to take a break. With parenting humor you can relate to, Meredith seems like the best friend you can grab some sweats, throw your hair up, and have wine with while talking about your daily shenanigans.

As a mom to be I found this book pretty interesting and funny. It was nice and light read. However it is an easily forgettable book.

This must not be my type of humor because I just didn't find it that funny. The topics just don't feel very fresh but I do appreciate her vulernatbility.

DNF at 20%. Just not for me; it's too much complaining about her kids and husband and I don't find it funny.

This book was a fun fast read. As a new mother this book was very relatable and a bit depressing at the amount of crazy that is still ahead. It was honest and brutal. I wouldn't say it's another parenting book since there really isn't much advice. Nonetheless it was a nice book to read and feel understood.

Yes, yes, another parenting book. But don't worry, it is not one of those preachy parenting books offering up advice on how to be the perfect, sparkling, Pinterest-worthy mom. In this book, blogger Meredith Masony, shares some of her humorous & inappropriate thoughts on motherhood. Masony has 3 kids and plenty of things to say!

She says what most of us are thinking, whether its in regards to kids as non-stop snack-monsters or how they all expect MOM to clean up after them. I mean please. I LIVE that life.

<i>I am pretty sure the reason I hate grocery shopping is because I know that the second I get home, my kids will grab 98 percent of what I purchased and eat it within five minutes of being home. And then in ten minutes they will come up to me and say, "Can I have a snack?" </i>

She also pretty much thinks as I do about texting. WHY make an actual phone call when you can just text?!?!

<i>The genius of texting is that you can answer a question without ever saying a word, which is great because the second you get on the phone, your kids can sense it and they begin to act like feral cats who just ingested a large quantity of crack cocaine.</i>

As you can tell, she is at least somewhat inappropriate with her writing (as promised by the subtitle). There are plenty of F-bombs scattered throughout. This book was very relatable to me as a mom with plenty of inappropriate thoughts. Check it out if you are looking for a quick, funny read!

This was a brief and quite hilarious about parenting craziness. I liked this more than I thought I would and I am not a parent. I think my brother and sister-ln law with their 2 rambunctious boys have had some similar experiences that occurred in this book.

Recommended for anyone with young kids and a busy family.

Motherhood isn't for the front of heart, ain't neither is this book, which bares it all, good and bad. Meredith has been through some life challenges, including multiple kids in diapers at the same time and feeding with her mother-in-law. We've all been there, and maybe said some of what she says to our Bestie, but not necessarily to anyone elses..but Meredith has learned life is precious and it's better to scream, shout and call it for what it is. Her language might not be for everyone, but her life with kids, and in-laws, are universal! This should be recommended reading for newlyweds and definitely for parents-to-be! Just don't drink anything while reading because a) you might choke from laughing while trying to swallow a sip of your drink or b) you'll snort out your drink all over while laughing!

This book is HILARIOUS and a great read for frazzled moms who are in that constant loop of demanding kids, meal making, and sleepless nights that come with parenting. Be warned that there is a lot of cursing in this book. I love it, but if that bothers you then you might want to steer clear. If you don't mind the language then this book will give you a muich needed laugh at the commonalities of the madness of motherhood!

While I was not familiar with author Meredith Masony before picking this one up, I quickly went down the rabbit hole of her Facebook page, Inappropriate Thoughts on Motherhood...and knew immediately that this book was for me.

After parenting for more than a decade I have learned a few things, and the biggest one is that parenting doesn't exactly get easier. I hung tightly to the fact that it had to get easier for the first few years of parenting in the trenches. Between the lack of sleep, toddler meltdowns and just wanting to be able to shower alone, I clung to the idea that it would only get easier, it had to right?!

Shortly after our oldest child entered elementary school (whew, one down, one to go!) the reality hit me, hard. This was a whole new stage of parenting that was just as complex, if not more so than the stage before it. While the physical challenges do subside the emotional ones increase twofold...and we are only entering the pre-teen years right now...

One success is then followed by a new challenge so while you master one thing, you are a rookie once again with something else. And while this might sound negative I don't mean it to be that way. For me, it was actually a big relief...It wasn't just us that it still seemed hard for, it is just that it is!  Parenthood is filled with the highest of highs and the lowest of lows, and everything in between.

The thing that has saved me as I have navigating parenthood (and heck, adulthood!) is the sense of community and always knowing I am never alone. There is nothing better than having friends you can laugh with and also cry with. While we might not experience the same exact issues, we understand that life contains a myriad of joys and heartbreaks for all of us. 

This book felt just like a conversation with a good friend. Masony shares authentic commentary on motherhood, marriage, aging, and friendship mixed with laugh out loud humor and the relatability of someone who doesn't have it all figured out either. She also highlights the delicate balance of feeling your feelings while also taking an active role in figuring out what brings you happiness...

While I could take a highlighter to almost every page in this book, I especially connected with her chapters, Real Friends Are The Best Friends and Who Knew Motherhood Could Be So Lonely. and It's Just A Phase...Son of A Bitch...The Whole Thing Is A String of Phases! This book is for anyone who knows that that parenting is hard no matter how you swing it, connections come through authenticity and life is better when we accept that no matter how it looks through a filter, NO ONE really knows what they are doing. 

Thank you to Gallery Books and author Meredith Masony for a gifted copy of this book in exchange for my honest feedback. As always, all thoughts are my own.

I'm an avid fan of these type of parenting books, but it's been a while since my last read on the subject. The synopsis caught my attention and the hook that fans of Jenny Lawson would enjoy this had me immediately interested.

Meredith Masony manages to capture in her story all the ups and downs of parenting, but through a much funnier hindsight lens. Her stories are relatable and the reading experience is akin to a coffee date with your girlfriend who you can confide all the gritty (and funny) mom stories without any judgement.

I greatly appreciate her honesty with sharing her own experiences and challenges, the self-depreciating humor that makes her relatable, and the hilarious takes she has what are some universal experiences of being a mom (the dehydrated kid at bed time had me cackling).

Highly enjoyable read. All moms need to check this book out.

This book was HILARIOUS. As a new mom, I've only just begun to see the real effects of Mom on Mom Shaming there is. And Meredith keeps it real. No Susan's allowed! There were so many times while reading this book that I laughed out loud and truly felt exactly what Meredith was saying. I am always down to read books that make you feel like the author is sitting right there on the couch with you telling you a story, and this one did not let me down.

Really enjoyed this book, I believe Meredith is a picture of what I will look like when my kids are older. A very quick and funny read.

I have seen Meredith many times through her youtube videos and also when she was live on facebook. She has always reminded me of a friend that has many kids and knows things.
I really enjoyed this booked. I liked that it felt like you were sitting on her couch while she folds clothes and she tells you about her day. Even though I have no children, in no way was this a book that turned me off. Her talking about her experiences as a mother was realistic to every woman in some way. If you want an easy read that will make you feel better about yourself or feel like you are not the only one that doesn't have it all together, than this books is for you!!!!!

Absolutely hysterical and real! As someone who follows the author online, I loved that her personality came through in her writing. She talked about kids, marriage, road trips, etc. in a way that made you laugh and say "I know where she is coming from." I enjoyed her use of lists throughout the book.

Real score 3.5 stars

Meredith is funny and the type of mom friend every woman needs. She keeps it all the way real, which is rare. She's brave for laying out all her flaws for the public. Unfortunately, I didn't connect with much of the book. She enables a co-dependent household then ridicules the family for their incessant messy behavior. I gave an additional .5 star for her vulnerability. Towards the end, she opens up about her different-abled son and her depression. I enjoyed the book for what it was but she's not my type of humor.

A copy of this book was given to me from NetGalley.

Ask Me What's For Dinner One More Time(formerly known as 18 to Life) is a truthful and messy look at motherhood and all it entails. From the school projects and bake sales, to the cooking and house work, to puberty and "the talk" Ask Me What's For Dinner One More Time covers it all, and it couldn't be more glorious.

Motherhood is something that isn't understood until you're in it. The manuals never got the scenario and other moms always look perfect on their Insta-feeds making the rest of us feel like failures. However, in those failures are where moms truly shine and find their way. The same goes for our author who shares with us her wins as well has her falls, but makes you feel understood rather than bad for her. She doesn't share any of these moments for pity, only to show other moms #SameGirlSame.

I recently know a couple who have just had their first child and I will be purchasing this title for them as soon as it is published. Motherhood is unique for everyone, but Meredith repeatedly gives us boosts that we're moving in the right direction, even if we stumble along the way. Four bright and shining stars from me, and I recommend this book to any mother, any age, anywhere in their child's life. There is something in this book for everyone.

I laughed out loud so many times while reading this uber relatable book. It's nice to have someone saying the taboo things that have gone through your head that would make the other mother's fan themselves in disbelief (while they are secretly wishing they were that open and honest about motherhood not being an easy or Pinterest perfect gig). These essays were just what I needed right now as my 10 year old boys are starting to get pre-teenagery (just as my 12 year old has FINALLY clamed down!) to know I am definitely not alone in my struggles in motherhood. I absolutely loved it and recommend it to anyone who is parent.

hilarious anecdotes of motherhood. Makes motherhood "normal". As a mother of 4, know it is always a roller coater ride!
