Imagine yourself having coffee (or a glass of wine) with a couple of girlfriends discussing the not-so-fun moments of parenting that make you feel like a sh*tty parent.

In today's humor-filled podcast Laura talks to two TODAY show producers about the need for more humor in the toughest job on the planet: being a parent.

Our guests, Alicia Ybarbo and Mary Ann Zoellner are Emmy Award–winning producers at NBC's TODAY show. They are the coauthors of Sh*tty Mom: The Parenting Guide for the Rest of Us and Today's Moms: Essentials for Surviving Baby's First Year.

Alicia and Mary Ann have a terrific personality and you'll instantly feel like they are your girlfriends from way back!

We also define the term "sh*tty mom" and what it means to be one. By the way, Laura is totally happy to be part of Alicia and Mary's sh*tty mom club.

Their First book: Sh*tty Mom: The Parenting Guide for the Rest of Us was a New York Times best seller and this second book: The Sh*tty Mom for All seasons really brings home how fun (and temporary) being a Sh*tty Mom can be.

Some of the things we discussed on the show:

• Sh*tty Mom: The Parenting Guide for the Rest of US (Book 1)
• Sh*tty Mom for all Seasons (Book 2)
• Today's Moms: The Essentials for Surviving the Baby's First Year
