Support Among Friends in Parenting Struggles
Amy All the moms in school hate me, and I am a complete and utter failure as a mother.
Carla First of all, you're so not a failure as a mother. In fact, you're the best mother that we've ever seen.
Kiki True that!
Carla You give your kids salad. Your remember your kids birthdays! I mean, I've sat here and watched you wait until your kid fell asleep before you got high.
Amy Most moms do that, Carla.
Carla That's most moms, yeah. Well, whatever. This is the worst thing I've ever seen you do. You've quit trying. We don't quit! Moms don't quit!
Kiki No! Quitting is for dads!
Carla Listen, no matter what shit is thrown at us, us moms, we have to just... We have to just keep going. Mmm-hmm. And do you know why?
Kiki Because we have low self-esteem.
Carla No. No, no. It's because we love our kids. It's because we love our stupid, selfish, ungrateful, little shit-faces! That's why. We love em so much that we would do... Literally anything for them.
Advice on Troubled Marriages and Divorce
Dr. Karl Okay, remember when I said that all marriages are savable? Well, it ain't gonna happen for you guys.

The Struggles of Modern Motherhood
Amy Mitchell I'm Amy Mitchell, and I'm a mom. I had my first kid when I was 20 years old, and I've been running late ever since. My days are filled with dropping the kids at school... Love you. ...then racing to work where I have meeting, after meeting, after meeting. I usually end up eating a shitty lunch at my desk, and I try to work out once a week. Why do I suck at Zumba? Most days, I race back to school for the kids plays, and poetry readings and class projects...which I'm always late for. Sorry. And then there's PTA meetings, and volunteering and parent-teacher conferences. Jesus, Miss Wiggins fuckin hates me. At least once a day, I feel like the worst mom in the world, and I cry in my car. Then I shuttle the kids to piano lessons and soccer games and dance classes and doctors appointments, before my daily trip to the grocery store. Ugh. This chick seems like she's got it all figured out. But I feel like I'm screwing up all the time. Still, I love being a mom.

Homemade Treats and Store-Bought Rules
Gwendolyn Are these store-bought donut holes, Amy?
Amy What? No. Gosh, no, I made them by hand and then I put them in the weird plastic container.
Vicky Oh, thank God. Cause we do not allow store-bought holes.
Gwendolyn Seriously, Vicky?
Amy Oh, come on, Gwendolyn. Who cares what food people bring as long as it raises money, right?
Stacy Oh, did she just... Oh. She did. Hit her with it, G.
Gwendolyn Well, you see, I care, sweetie. I don't... I don't know what's been going on with you, I mean, with your weird outbursts and your terrible style, but it ends now. Okay? I run this school, and no one takes a class or kicks a ball or plays a fuckin clarinet without my say-so. And I can make life a living hell for you and your dirty little children. Do you understand me?
Amy Wow, Gwendolyn, I genuinely think you should just relax a little bit, I mean, have a donut hole. They're delicious. They're from a gas station. They're... Mmm.
Gwendolyn You have crossed the line, little girl. And I am going to destroy you. Winter is coming.
[storms away]
Amy Gwendolyn.
[chuckles]
Stacy Oh, my God. You are so fucked.
Advocating for Less Stress in Motherhood
Amy Mitchell First of all, I just wanna say this, that I think that we, as moms, do way too much stuff. And if I'm elected, I promise you we are gonna do way less. Right? Less PTA meetings, less luncheons, less fuckin bake sales, just less bullshit! Wait, wait, wait, wait. And I think that our kids need a break, too, you guys. Come on, now, school starts way too fucking early, okay? God, and they have way too much homework. I mean, our kids don't even have time to be kids anymore, am I right? And what is up with these five standardized tests a week? We should not be teaching our kids how to be good test-takers. We should be teaching them how to be good people! What is a standardized test? So, if you're a mom who's overworked, overstressed, or if you're just a mom who wants to do less...then just vote for me.

Lunch Plans and Baseball Game Excitement
Carla Hey, Jaxon. I made you lunch today. It's some humus wrap with some kale.
Jaxon Gross!
Carla Yeah, I know, it sounds totally disgusting, but it's supposed to be good for you, so... And I'm gonna come to your baseball game tomorrow night.
Jaxon For real?
Carla I'm gonna stay the whole stupid game. Mmm-hmm. Because... I love you, and stuff. Still cannot believe I pushed that thing outta my chooch.
[Jaxon hugs him before walking in to school]
Marriage Struggles and Different Perspectives on Intimacy
Amy I caught Mike having an affair online with a woman, and I guess it's been going on for like 10 months.
Carla Oh! Did you drive a spike through his nuts?
Amy No. Here's the truth. Our marriage has been over for years. I don't even remember the last time we had sex.
[laughs]
Kiki Kent and I have sex every Friday night after Blue Bloods.
Kiki I find ]'s work to be extremely erotic.

Frustration with Modern Parenting Rules
Amy Do you know what I hate?
Carla Mmm?
Amy There are so many fuckin rules now.
Kiki Yes, God.
Amy Don't punish your kids.
Kiki Don't say no to your kids.
Carla Yeah. "Go to your kid's baseball games." "Tell your kids you love em." "Don't fuck the janitor at your kid's school." I mean, what the fuck is this? Russia?
Amy We're killing ourselves, trying to be perfect, and it's making us insane. In this day and age, it's impossible to be a good mom. Screw it.
Carla Yeah.
Amy Let's be bad moms.
Carla Oh, I'm in.
Amy Right?
Kiki Oh, my gosh, okay. This is exciting. I'm in!
Amy Yes! To bad moms. Whoo!

A Humorous Take on Dating in Youth

Gwendolyn James Introduces PTA Meeting Agenda
Gwendolyn James For those of you who have been living under a rock...I am Gwendolyn James. I am the president of the PTA, but most importantly, I am the proud mommy to two beautiful daughters, Blaire and Gandhi. Now, I called this emergency PTA meeting to address an issue that radically affects the safety of our children. The bake sale.
A Bold PTA Presidential Speech
Amy Hi, um, my name is Amy Mitchell and I am running for PTA President.
Gwendolyn Keep going. You’re doing great.
Amy I know after the other day a lot of you think I’m a pretty bad mom...And you know what? You’re right.
Kiki Why did we make her do this?!
Carla I don’t know I think we made a huge mistake!
Amy Sometimes I’m too strict with my kids, sometimes I’m too nice, and sometimes I’m just a crazy bitch who doesn’t make any sense...What works on my daughter almost never works on my son, and whenever I think I might actually be figuring my kids out, they grow older and I’m back to square one. The truth is, when it comes to being a mom...I have no fucking clue what I’m doing. But you know what? I don’t think anyone does.
Amy I think we’re all bad moms. And you know why? Because being a mom today is fucking impossible.
Amy So can we all just stop pretending like we’ve got it all figured out and maybe stop judging each other all the time?
Kiki She’s doing great!
Carla I know I never doubted her.
Amy I’m running for PTA president because I want our school to be a place where you don’t have to be perfect. A place where you can be yourself and make mistakes and where you’re judged by how hard you’re trying not by what you bring to the fucking bake sale. I want our school to be a place where it’s okay to be a bad mom.
Woman #1 My kids haven’t had a bath in three weeks!
Amy Yes! We all do that sometimes.
Woman #2 I confiscated my son's weed and then I smoked the shit out of it!
Carla What's your number?
Woman #3 I give my kids a Benadryl every Tuesday night so I can watch The Voice.
Woman #4 I can't tell my twins apart!
Woman #5 I let my 7-year-old watch Mad Max.
Woman #6 I drink margaritas for breakfast.
Woman #7 I threw my son's violin in the garbage.
Carla Oh, honey, we don't speak Spanish.
Woman #9 I like my nanny better than I like my husband.
Carla Wait, really? Yeah, you do!
Woman #10 I don't even have kids! I just come to PTA meetings because I'm lonely.
Kiki Aw.
Amy Here's the thing. If you're a perfect mom who's got this whole parenting thing figured out, well, then, you should probably vote for Gwendolyn, cause she's amazing. Yes. But if you're a bad mom like me and you have no fucking clue what you're doing, or you're just sick of being judged all the time... Then please vote for me. Thank you.
School Day Sentiments and Lunch Confusion

Awkward Conversations About Intimacy
Kiki Kent is a never-hard.
Amy Ooh, what's a never-hard?
Kiki Well, he never gets fully hard. So I just have to kinda fold his penis up like a balloon animal and shove it up in my vagina.
Carla That sounds horrible!
Amy Yeah...
Kiki Sometimes, I take the balls and shove em up there too because at least, you know, they're firm.
Carla Honey, that is a lot of shit to shove up your cooter.
Kiki I mean, I'm just happy he's circumcised.
Amy Agh! What if I get somebody who's not circumcised?
Kiki Run out of the room screaming. It's like finding a gun in the street; just scream and get out of there! It's like finding a gun in the street. Just scream and get outta there!

Consequences of Neglecting Responsibilities in School
Dylan Hey so, where's my science project?
Amy Oh, I didn't do it.
Dylan What? But it's due today!
Amy Yeah. I know, I know. I'm so sorry, but you're going to actually have to start doing your own homework from now on.
Dylan I am a slow learner, remember?
Amy You're not a slow learner, you're just entitled... do you know what entitled means?
Dylan No. Because I'm a slow learner.
Amy It means that mummy and daddy have been spoiling you, and now you think that the world owes you something, but it doesn't. And if you don't learn how to work hard now, then you're going to just grow up to be like another entitled little white dude who thinks he's awesome for no reason. And then you'll start a Ska Band and it'll be awful and you'll be mean to girls, and you'll grow this ironic moustache to look interesting but you won't actually be interesting, and I'm not okay with that so would you please, please just do your own homework?
Recognition in Parenting Responsibilities
Carla Dunkler Oh, hey, I know you. You're that chick that always picks up my kid from school when I forget-slash-don't want to.
[to Kiki]
Motherly Fury and the Fight for Justice
Carla This is about standing up to the bitch that hurt your little girl! Now, are you gonna sit here and let Gwendolyn get away with this shit?
Kiki Don't do it, Amy.
Carla Fuck that! Fuck it! You are gonna rise up like a small, little white Apollo Creed and you are gonna look at Gwendolyn and you are gonna say, "You can do what you want to me, I don't care, throw it at me, but you fucked with my daughter, and now I have to fight you. I will fight you in the playground. I will fight you in the cafeteria. I will even fight you in the parking lot of Trader Joe's. But I will have justice for my little girl, because I am a fucking mom. And we protect our young." So get up off this couch, turn off ], and let's bodyslam this bitch.

A Fantastical Escape from Daily Life
Kiki Sometimes when I'm driving all by myself, I have this fantasy that I get into a car crash. Not a big one with fire and explosions, but just like a little one, but I do get injured and I get to go to the hospital for two weeks and I sleep all day and I eat Jell-O and I watch so much TV and it's all covered by my insurance. My kids bring me balloons, and the nurses rub cream on my feet, and oh, my God, it's so amazing. Is that like something you guys fantasize about, too?
Carla, Amy No.
Carla You're batshit crazy.
Amy Yeah.
