Synopsis

When I first learned that I was pregnant, I thought this was going to be the most blessed, beautiful, rose-petals-at-my-feet-and-bluebirds-lighting-upon-my-forearm time of my life.Then I went for my first prenatal visit.Which starts with a weigh-in.From comedian Anita Renfroe, already beloved by women's groups and YouTube viewers across America, comes this hilarious and brazenly honest look at motherhood and middle age. Famous for her live performance of the "Mom Song," which barrels through everything a mom says to her kids in a single day to the tune of the "William Tell Overture" (just two minutes and fifty-five seconds), in Don't Say I Didn't Warn You, Renfroe now turns her irreverent and daringly accurate comic eye to other female conditions. In chapters with names like "Brother, Can You Spare an Epidural?" and "Playing Favorites (Or, As a Matter of Fact, I Do Love Your Brother More)," she dares to speak what other women are thinking--but don't say out loud. Using wit and honesty as her weapons of choice, Renfroe shares her deeply funny and relatable takes on everything from weddings to mammograms to every woman's never-ending quest for just one good photo of herself. The world is a bounty of material for Renfroe; with it, she makes a feast of laughter for us all. Don't say we didn't warn you.

This was a funny book that features tales and anecdotes for older moms. I liked her comparison of TV Motherhood to real life and thought the original songs were hilarious. I definitely recommend for older moms with teens and empty nesters.......more

I got this book for $1, figuring it would be one of those fun-while-it-lasts type. The first half was mildly amusing. The rest of it felt like I was stuck with an oversharing stranger.......more

Goodreads review by Misty aka Elvisgirl on February 19, 2016

I didn't know if I would like this, because comedians are sometimes not what I really want to read... as I've found previously. A friend of mine introduced me to Anita Renfroe, and the youtubes I'd seen of her were pretty good, so I was totally ready to give this book a try. She started out with a f......more
