Taking an irreverent and humorous look at the trials and tribulations of motherhood, this is a parenting book with a difference. Rather than a serious tome laying down the law, Libby Purves has written a lighthearted book which shamelessly describes how to cut the corners and bend the rules that never mattered much anyway.
Forget the other parenting books that hide the real truth - this is the true battle manual for mothers on the front line! An invaluable survival guide to coping with the baby years.
Based on Libby Purves' own experience of domestic havoc with two babies and on the wit and wisdom of fifty like-minded mothers, this motherhood companion guide is full of down-to-earth tips and hilarious anecdotes. Topics covered include pregnancy, preschoolers, sibling fights, fraught outings, nannies and careers.
This is an invaluable guide to being an imperfect mother - and, more importantly, enjoying it. This book is a great antidote to the prevailing tendency to make a science of everything, even the most natural things, like raising children. Libby Purves has faith in people. As you read her book, your faith in yourself comes flooding back.
