Ever been trapped at school with a Perfect Mom between you and picking up your kid? Have you had the lovely experience of being made to feel second-best because you’re a working mom? Are you fed up with moms who want to compete with you for the title of Best Mom Ever, but you never even knew there was a competition? The White Trash Mom Handbook is for you.

Don’t be thrown by the title. ‘White Trash’ is just code for “I’m not perfect and I don’t need to be” — you’re not going to need to install a broken toilet on your lawn.

Lamar and Wendland take you step-by-step through life-saving techniques to get you out of a jam if confronted by the “Muffia,” how to fake-bake when you don’t have time to lovingly create a Rice Krisy treat masterpiece for junior’s bake sale, and how to step away from the office when you have an unavoidable family commitment during working hours.

This is a great read to get you in gear before school starts up again, and you should consider getting a few extra copies to hand out to your posse too :)
