A humorous field guide to responsive parenting and trying not to be the reason your kid needs therapy, by MAJOR TikTok star Gwenna Laithland.
 
We all know that parenting is hard. The only perfect parent is one that has imaginary children. When we receive our little bundles of joy (and terror) the reality kicks in. Suddenly, we are in charge of a fragile creature who is completely dependent on us, like for everything. What comes next is a lot of fumbling, contradictory advice, guilt, and confusion.

There are lots of experts out there who will tell you they have the magic recipe to raising perfect humans. Gwenna Laithland is not one of them. She’s one of us. Frustrated, overwhelmed and exhausted. Her relatable representation of parenthood validates the experience.

In Momma Cusses, Gwenna uses her signature style of snark and sarcasm to explain her interpretation of what she calls responsive parenting and outline the intentional steps she takes to raise her kids. It is an accessible resource that focuses not just on one way to help kids grow up to be happy, healthy, and stable but helps readers gain a better understanding of the role and work of a parent.
