Comedian and radio personality Jess Hilarious is getting real about the challenges and rewards of raising a child with an ex. In her new book, "Til Death Do We Parent: Raising My Kid with His Dad," she offers a candid look at her own co-parenting journey, blending humor with hard-earned wisdom. Known for her unfiltered takes on "The Breakfast Club," Hilarious doesn't sugarcoat the struggles. She talks about the importance of putting the child first, even when dealing with frustration or old resentments.

Her core advice centers on communication and consistency. She stresses that parents need to agree on basic rules and discipline, even if they live in separate homes. Hilarious also warns against using the child as a messenger or a weapon during disagreements. Instead, she encourages direct, respectful conversations between the adults. The book aims to show that co-parenting is not about being perfect, but about showing up and working together for the kid's well-being. With her signature wit, she reminds parents that they don't have to be best friends, but they do have to be a team.
