Are you the world's worst parent? Could be, but you won't know for sure till your child starts writing confessional poetry, asks to speak to the manager at an Applebee's, or launches a YouTube channel. In the meantime, let the humorists of McSweeney's guide you through every step of parenthood, from IVF to empty nest.
