Mommy Cusses delivers when it comes to hilarious anecdotes and interpretations from the frontline of motherhood. Dorman provides the funniest tips and commentary on the tribulations and imperfections of motherhood while highlighting that you are not alone and this is normal.

Beautifully illustrated, brutally and comically honest. This book was a winner that had me laughing so hard and nodding my head. This will definitely be a go to gift for new moms.

Thank you to the publisher and to NetGalley for this ARC in exchange for an honest review.

I didn't know if I'd like this book. Though I'm far from a (f*cking) prude, I don't typically love tons of profanity and I'm not at all a fan of toilet humor, but I decided to take a chance on Mommy Cusses based on some of the quotes posted by the other reviewers. I'm really thrilled that I did because it was a highlight to my otherwise stuck-under-a-mountain-of-snow-with-hyper-kids day.

I stay at home with my mini humans, but I was actively thinking of my mom friends while I was reading because it is just so damn relatable, regardless of how you choose to do motherhood. I love how reassuring it is, too. I shed a tear when I was reading the foreword. I am absolutely consumed by mom guilt—who isn't? And it's lovely to have a parent so understanding, so empathetic, so entirely real about it. (I'm literally writing this as I'm begging my five-year-old to get back in bed.) And still, I love that 98% of the book drips with sarcasm.

I've not read a huge number of parenting humor books because the ones I have read haven't been very funny. Or helpful. Mommy Cusses manages to be both. If I'm rating it against every other book I've read, regardless of genre, it's likely a 3.5/5, but amongst its genre? It's a 5/5, I'm a hugely critical reader, but I have no criticisms.

It's so difficult to choose a favorite bit. The "Tactics for Exiting a Sleeping Child's Room" bit killed me, but it's a bit too long to quote. This is probably my second favorite page:

Burglar (trying to break into my home/struggling with the baby gate): WTF?!
Me: It's a—you have to pull with your thumb while you LIFT.
Burglar: Like this? I don't—
Me: Yeah, yeah, now LIFT.
Burglar (jiggling gate): You know what? I'll try a different house. You have a good night!

This was so funny. It's almost just a bunch of memes collected into one book, but it's still worth the read. I will give this to mom friends as gifts. The absolute best part was in the periodic table the "2pac" item referring to Kidz Bop on the way to school and 90s rap on the way home. Truer words have never been spoken. I'm peak 2pac since I do that in my minivan.

The self-help book I thought I didn't need! I enjoyed it so so much!

Written humorously to lighten up the struggles of being a mom. I felt like Dorman patted my back and told me that I'm doing a great job in raising my kids.

Thank you to Netgalley, author Serena Dorman and illustrator Paige Vickers for the ARC.

Seren Dorman wrote a very funny book about parenting. Of course, it could be enjoyed by non parents; people like myself, but I don't think we can truly appreciate it. Overall, this was an enjoyable read, one I will see myself gifting to friends who are parents!

I would like to thank the publisher and netgalley for providing me a copy in exchange for an honest review.

I have been reading this over the past week during middle of the night feedings (yay having a infant) and let me say... this is the most relatable book I've read in a long time.

I was cracking up in my nursing chair agreeing with almost every page, and the things I haven't experienced yet made me excited to know that I'll not only be experiencing them alone now.

This is a very comical, lighthearted collection of thoughts on what it's like to be a mother and every mom needs this book. It's my new best friend.

Review to come April 1st to blog/Goodreads.

I received this book from Netgalley/the publisher in exchange of an honest review.

I just LOVE books about parenting, either neutral (parents in general) or books for moms or dads specifically. I don't have kids myself, and not planning on any (for reasons), but I just cannot resist reading books about parenting. I don't know why, maybe because when I was a teen I wanted to work with kids. When I saw this book pop up on Netgalley I knew I had to get it. The title sounded brilliant (and I also love the alternatives to the title which are listed in the book) and the blurb sounded hilarious.

This book is full with all sorts of fun, hilarious things. From anecdotes/stories/tips, to quotes to jokes to a periodic table full of essentials for moms to lists about things like: How to look like you have your shit together (pina coladas and pens and fancy hobbies), checklists, quizzes, and there is much much more and so I can assure you that you won't have a moment of boredom. You will fly to one page and the next never knowing what is on the next page (well, unless it is a two-pager then you know :P ). I definitely loved that element of surprise. And you will laugh so much! At least I did, and I can tell you that I definitely needed that laugh. 

I love the colours, the graphics, the way this book was made. It was very colourful and fun. It may seem a bit chaotic at times, but I just loved it!

All in all, I would recommend this one to all!

I think every. Other could relate to some part of this book. Some of the anecdotes are hyperbolic, but many are spot on of motherhood.

This book was epic!! Thank you to netgalley for the ARC but, I will, hands down, be buying this for my coffee table.
This was just so amazing funny and truthful and I don't think I have ever felt so understood! I think every single mom should read this, if only to feel a little less alone in the insanity that is motherhood!

A very funny book about the day-to-day-life of a mom. I enjoyed all the different chapters and activities as well as different forms of presenting the story.
I am not a mom myself but I still found a lot of things relatable thanks to being an aunt to a toddler and based on my sister's tales of motherhood.
Highly recommend!

I was lucky to receive an advance copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. OMG this book is absolutely hilarious! Any Mom out there that can't laugh at this really must not have a sense of humor as we have all been there! This Mom/Author absolutely gets it. Every Mom out there should grab a copy of this book and laugh their butt off like I did as it will truly make your day!

Do you have a friend that seems to be disappearing behind the act of motherhood? Do you keep thinking, what could I get to help her? Enter... Mommy Cusses. But only if she is not easily offended by profanity.

Mommy Cusses is a fun read that will help all mothers out there with young kids remember they are not alone in their endless battle! With three young kids and nine years of sleepless nights, an almost burned out crock pot, and a mini van that looks like the snack aisle exploded in it-this book made me laugh out loud numerous times. Fun little activities that will bring you back to high school included. Bring this to your girlfriends when they are in the trenches and it will certainly put a smile on their faces!

This is a fun book that all mothers will relate to at least a little. It's full of funny little bits and bobs of all sorts and occasionally had me laughing out loud. These books often try to be funny at the excuse of kids, being almost mean to children. This one isn't, which I really appreciated. It has lots of cussing and is very inappropriate, so it's not a good choice for people who'd be bothered by that. It's definitely geared towards moms of very young kids. Mine are 9-22 so most of the subject matter here is in my distant past instead of the things I deal with these days, but it still made me smile.

I read a temporary digital ARC of this book for review.

I received a copy of this book from NetGalley in exchange for my honest review. Thank you NetGalley!

The cover of this book is simple but eye-catching.
The book was comical and a must-buy for any mom.
I'm a mom of two, and I definitely laughed at quite a few of these pages.


I'd definitely purchase a copy and check out other books by the author.

I would like to thank NetGalley, the author, and the publisher for providing me with a copy of this ebook.

I laughed my way through Mommy Cusses because many of these parts were painfully relatable. It does a good job of telling every mom out there that the struggle is real and everyone is dealing with shit (sometimes literally) all the time. I loved it!

This was a very fun and relatable short read that I highly recommend to my mom friends. Easy to read in bits between naps and great for a good laugh!

"I bet I can guess what you are with just one question. Do you have kids? Then: tired. You're ---- tired."

Serena Dorman's (with illustrations by Paige Vickers) laugh out loud funny (seriously, I had hysterical tears popping out and my kids were wondering what the heck was wrong with me) Mommy Cusses is readily relateable for moms everywhere. I believe it's geared towards the new mommies out there, but though mine are a bit older than newborns, I still found myself nodding with every single anecdote and piece of advice in these pages. This isn't exactly a self-help book; it's a much needed dose of commiseration for any worn to the bone mama thinking she's not enough, for any spit-up soaked gal who thinks she's the absolute worst, for any tantrumed-out lady eyeing that box of merlot wondering if it's respectably close enough to the five o'clock cocktail hour to pour a glass or five.

I just might need a copy or two of my own to pull out when I need to remember to lighten the mood. Short, sweet, and to the point, this pretty little book was one of the best I've gotten here on NetGalley.

But beware--the title is accurate. This is a NSFW book.

Thank you to Chronicle Books and NetGalley for making this advance copy available to review. I wish I could buy 1,000 copies and hand them out to a bunch of moms or leave scattered on park benches a la Emma Watson. It was fantastic.

As soon as I saw this book I knew it would be one for me from the title alone and straight away I downloaded a copy and had it read from cover to cover that night in bed!

I liked the content and it was laid out really well. It was easy to read and I liked it is a book where you can opt to read one section or all of them, it is one you can dip in and out of with no issue. It was light hearted and funny where it needed to be and did give me more than a few smiles.

I liked the little notes and letters to the mum you thought you would be/hoped you would be – the book is honest and keeps it real, being a mum is tough, not every day goes how you want and expect it too, but we pull our socks up, cry in our cold coffee and just get on with doing what we do best – keeping the little terrors fed and happy!

It is 4.5 stars from me for this one rounded up to 5 stars for Goodreads and Amazon – very highly recommended and one I am going to make sure I refer back to if I have a wobble as it is a great reminder that you can do this, and you are not alone!

Gotta love a book that has a page of alternate titles that include “babies can be assholes too” — YUP! This author is my spirit animal and this book is a must for any mom who just wants to scream “YES!!!” Every other page in her leggings with a glass of bubbles while also yelling at the kids to go back to bed. This book has a MASH game. A MASH GAME!!! Omg my childhood. I literally had to stop reading and grab a pen and paper so that I could do it. I got: I’m going to be a sous-chef, who becomes a grandma when “I already have the soul and energy of a much more geriatric person”, will become celeb BFFs with Amy Schumer (YASSS!), next solo outing is “what is a solo outing” (hah, yep), losing my shit today: “I’m going strong at 5 lost shits per hour”, having a “grown-ass-women sleepover with snacks and rom-coms but we’re all in bed by 10pm” (btw this is my dream mom-friend-date), and the drink I’d enjoy after the kids go to bed is “coffee — while its still hot” — hahaha so much fun. There is a “Day as a parent according to your astrological sign” and yes, Aries was spot on. Honestly they are all spot on. Can I have all the astrological signs please? Yoga poses. tactical hand signals. "What kind of mom are you" quiz -- very much the teen magazine quiz of my childhood. sex positions for parents. resume skills. This book is entertaining therapy. Highly recommended.

A hilarious and fun book! Such a great read! Filled with fun comments, great artwork and activities, this book is just a great time!
