Every family has its own way of doing things and, now that our kids are old enough to compare our homes to their friends', suddenly there's a whole list of ways in which we, our kids' parents, ARE MONSTERS. Plus, Biz paves the way for weekend fun and Theresa visits a real forest. And we talk with writer Nefertiti Austin about her experience adopting children as a single woman of color. In reference to our conversation with Nefertiti, here are some book recommendations from Gwen Glazer of the New York Public Library. These books are for children ages 10+, featuring protagonists who are people of color. Note these are categorized by gender -- the first listed are books featuring boy/male leads and below that are books featuring girl/female leads. As with any book, parents should read first to make sure it is suitable for your child. Thank you, Gwen! Featuring boy/male leads: As Brave as You by Jason Reynolds (Nefertiti after the show found this as well through her local librarian) Kinda Like Brothers by Coe Booth Bud, Not Buddy by Christopher Paul Curtis Featuring girl/female leads: One Crazy Summer by Rita Williams-Garcia Flygirl by Sherri L. Smit Bayou Magic by Jewell Parker Rhodes The Jumbies series by Tracy Baptiste The Mighty Miss Malone by Christopher Paul Curtis Zora and Me by Victoria Bond Nefertiti Austin: http://muthamagazine.com/author/nefertiti-austin/ Tickets for One Bad Mother Live at the Independent in San Francisco April 29th: https://www.ticketfly.com/purchase/event/1453303 You're Doing A Great Job!: 100 Ways You're Winning At Parenting! is available now!

This week on One Bad Mother, Biz and Theresa ponder the stereotype of mothers….not the ethereal, magical vessel image…its the hunched, broken, shell of a person image. Is it avoidable? Is it too late? Or is there some place in between the deep end and the impossible vision of self put upon perfection? We hope that place has snacks. Plus Biz lives her parenting dream, Theresa gives us a window into her world and we talk to Bryn Huntpalmer of the podcast The Birth Hour.

This week on One Bad Mother, Biz and Theresa wonder why stepping foot into elementary school can churn up our own personal anxiety about making friends as adults with other parents. Is it all in our minds or should we just hang out behind the cafeteria and start smoking? Plus Biz gives up the bottle, Theresa takes up the bottle and Kiera Butler, a senior editor at Mother Jones joins to talk about the silence surrounding birth related injuries.
