You’re Not the Boss of Me
Erika Schickel is a L.A.-based writer, actress, and mother of two. And she has written a great momoir. You’re Not the Boss of Me: Adventures of a Modern Mom is definitely for fans of Mamarama. Except Schickel is funnier. And in some ways more outrageous (she writes about how going to strip clubs is a welcome break from parenting). And very heartwarming (definitely read the last chapter about sisterhood).
And I’m not just saying this because she gave me a nice review in the L.A. Times. Schickel shows how alt-parenting tomes are not just about punk rock onesies and navel-gazing: That we’re dealing with profound issues of identity, sexual politics, love and culture here, albeit sometimes gussied up into humorous accounts of weed habits.
