Karen Alpert from Baby Sideburns reads an excerpt from her hilarious book I Want My Epidural Back: Adventures in Mediocre Parenting. Are your kids having sleepovers? This one's for you... Hi, I’m Karen Alpert, aka Baby Sideburns. I’m a mom who likes to wear fat pants and drink Hershey’s syrup straight from the bottle while I cook dinner every night. And by cook dinner, I mean nuke chicken nuggets in the microwave. Thanks for checking out my page! You might notice that I swear on here a little. If that bothers you, I’m sorry. If it makes you feel any better I never do it in front of my kiddos (unless they drop a bowling ball on my head or something), and really I just do it in my writing because what I write is what goes through my head. Here are some other things I do besides curse in my head: Use fake words like vajayjay and anyways Write sponsored posts so I can buy chicken nuggets and Hershey’s syrup Raise two kiddos named Zoey and Holden (who were 5 and 2.5 when this page was created but who might be 97 and 94.5 now since this page will probably never be updated) Write books (cough cough New York Times bestseller) Have lots of fun on my awesome Facebook page Help other moms and dads by admitting that parenting is like crazy hard for everyone Links Mentioned In This Episode: Baby Sideburns | Blog Baby Sideburns | FB New episodes every Thursday!
