Amy Wilson's one-woman show Mother Load toured the US to sold-out audiences and was hailed by the New York Times as "like Annie Hall wearing a nursing bra!" Now Wilson brings her critically acclaimed, hilarious take on modern motherhood to her first book, WHEN DID I GET LIKE THIS?: The Screamer, the Worrier, the Dinosaur-Chicken-Nugget-Buyer, and Other Mothers I Swore I'd Never Be.
After seven years of raising kids, Amy Wilson has an overriding daily thought: she sucks at being a mother. She feeds her kids dinosaur chicken nuggets. Three times a week. She lets hand washing after using the toilet slide, as long as it was just Number One. This was not the kind of mother Wilson thought she would be--after all, what mother sets out to be merely mediocre? This hilarious new book explores the considerable backslide between her noble ambitions and daily reality - something just about every mom can relate to.
