Sona Movsesian, New York Times bestselling author and co-host of the podcast Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend, joins us with her hilarious, irreverent book about the expectations versus reality of parenthood. Parents, let’s let our hair down–without fear of it getting pulled!
About the Book
Sona Movsesian never meant to become the World’s Worst Assistant. But with Conan O’Brien as a boss, what else did we expect?
Sona Movsesian never thought she’d be the World’s Worst Mom, either. But when her twin sons, Charlie and Mikey, arrived, she realized she had been totally naive to all the ways even loving and devoted parents can feel like they fall short at raising kids these days. Life as the carefree, worry-free, stress-free person she was over, and her reign as The World’s Worst Mom had begun.
In The World’s Worst Mom, Sona regales us with stories from the trenches, accompanied by hilarious how-tos (like how to escape from a WebMD vortex of symptom searching), comics (like one in which Sona time-travels to show off her minivan to her younger self), and behind-the- scenes stories with comedy legend Conan O’Brien (and how being the world’s worst assistant prepared for her being the world’s worst mom).
Ever feared you’re the worst parent in the world? Do you feel like the parent you are and the parent you thought you would be are two completely different people? Take comfort in these stories that prove absolutely no one has this figured out. If you don’t find a way to laugh through the chaos, well, you may be missing the point entirely.
