From the New York Times bestselling author of The World's Worst Assistant and co-host of the podcast Conan O'Brien Needs a Friend, a hilarious, irreverent book about the expectations vs. reality of parenthood.

Sona Movsesian never meant to become the World's Worst Assistant. But with Conan O'Brien as a boss, what else did we expect?

Sona Movsesian never thought she'd be the World's Worst Mom, either. But when her twin sons, Charlie and Mikey, arrived, she realized she had been totally naive to all the ways even loving and devoted parents can fail at raising kids these days. Life as she knew it ended. Life as the World's Worst Mom had begun.

In this new book, Sona regales her fans with stories from the trenches, with hilarious how-tos (like how to escape from a WebMD vortex of symptom searching), comics and illustrations throughout (like one where Sona time travels to show off her minivan to her younger self), and behind-the- scenes stories with comedy legend Conan O'Brien (and how working for "the world's biggest baby" prepared her for motherhood).

Ever feared you're the worst parent in the world? Take comfort in these stories that prove absolutely no one has this figured out, and if you don’t find a way to laugh through the chaos, well, you may be missing the point entirely.
Sona Movsesian is the New York Times bestselling author of The World's Worst Assistant. Over fifteen years of working with Conan O'Brien, Sona has become a regular feature of all things Conan and a fan favorite. Now, she cohosts Conan’s podcast, Conan O’Brien Needs a Friend. Sona lives in LA with her husband and twin sons. View titles by Sona Movsesian
