The World Deserves My Children
The World Deserves My Children | Natasha Leggero
3 posts | 3 read
A laugh-out-loud funny collection of insightful and razor-sharp essays on motherhood in our post-apocalyptic world from comedian Natasha Leggero. When Natasha Leggero got pregnant at forty-two after embarking on the grueling IVF process, she was over the moon. But once her feelings of bliss dissipated, she couldnt help but shake the lingering question: Am I doing this right? And then, Should I be doing this if the world is about to end? In The World Deserves My Children, Natasha explores themes like geriatric motherhood, parenting in an environmental panic, fear and love, discipline (and conflicting schools of thought on how not to raise a brat), and more. Ultimately, Natasha determines that motherhood is worth it. After all, where do you think the next five generations of humans will be if the only people who are having kids dont believe in science? The world deserves my children.

I thought this was a fun and enjoyable listen. I probably would have liked it even more if I was actually a parent!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I had no idea Leggero was married to Moshe Kasher! I read his book probably 10 years ago. Total Chelsea Lately nostalgia! I‘ve read so many “Round Table” memoirs over the years. So many fantastic comedians … bring it back, Chelsea! Digression aside, this was an honest, funny, and relatable account of Leggero‘s life as a “geriatric” mother and fertility struggles. She brings normalcy and perspective.

vivastory From what I've heard Chelsea is one of the fill-in guests while TDS looks for a new permanent host to fill the vacancy. (edited) 1y
britt_brooke @vivastory I don‘t watch regularly but she‘d be a good fit if even just temporarily. I saw her standup a few months ago when she filmed her newest Netflix special in nashville. 🤍 1y
vivastory That's awesome that you were able to see her. I love live comedy, but I haven't been in awhile. I haven't seen any of the episodes with her 1y
vivastory Sent too soon 👆 I meant to add that I have seen a couple with Sarah Silverman and she's been great 1y
britt_brooke @vivastory I love Sarah Silverman, too! 1y

The first half of this book aligns with the awesome mom-blog scene of the two thousand aughts. Good, but we‘ve heard it. The second half is better. But seriously, Chelsea, funniest ever?

britt_brooke LOL …. it‘s probably the only parenting book Chelsea‘s read. 1y
RebL @britt_brooke 😆 My thoughts exactly. 1y
