A laugh-out-loud funny collection of insightful and razor-sharp essays
on motherhood in our post-apocalyptic world from comedian Natasha
Leggero.
When Natasha Leggero got pregnant at forty-two after embarking on the
grueling IVF process, she was over the moon. But once her feelings of
bliss dissipated, she couldn't help but shake the lingering question:
Am I doing this right? And then, Should I be doing this if the world
is about to end?
In The World Deserves My Children, Natasha explores themes like
"geriatric" motherhood, parenting in an environmental panic, fear and
love, discipline (and conflicting schools of thought on how not to raise
a brat), and more. Ultimately, Natasha determines that motherhood is
worth it. After all, where do you think the next five generations of
humans will be if the only people who are having kids don't believe in
science? The world deserves my children.
