Publisher's Synopsis
Daisy Waugh's razor-sharp wit takes on modern motherhood right between the eyes...
Mummy. Ma, Mama, Mum. There may be different names for 'mother' but it often feels like there's only one correct way to BE one.
Has motherhood been completely hijacked by parenting experts and the tutting, middle class Mummy-as-Vocation brigade? The bar to good motherhood is now so high, it's impossible for modern mothers not to feel as if they are failing.
'I don't know how she does it!' rings out the frantic cry.
'I don't know why she bothers,' answers Daisy. Life is short - but it's not over! We love our children but we are individuals too.
Part feminist manifesto, part hilarious rant, Daisy asks modern mothers to STOP TAKING IT ALL SO SERIOUSLY. And maybe along the way, they'll start to feel a bit better about themselves.
