5 out of 5 stars Excellent, informative, fun and full of useful advice!   June 5, 2008
I bought this book to try and recapture a bit of happiness and stress-less existence for myself before it's too late. With three children under four stress is my middle name. This is full of really useful suggestions, advice, anecdotes from other mums etc - strategies for dealing with badly behaved children, relationship troubles, work pressures, housework crises and losing yourself into the big mum hole. I really can't recommend this book enough for sensible, practical, down to earth advice. And it's really nice to know you're not the only mum who feels like she's not coping!


5 out of 5 stars Honest writing about being a mum   May 8, 2008
This book is fantastic! It's describes what motherhood is really like - acknowledging that children are a great blessing, but that they can also try your patience and sometimes drive you to distraction! It's about how to cope - with everything from the children's bad behaviour, to organising your home, and (perhaps most importantly) some sound advice for when you get that sinking feeling. It's written by people who really understand what it's like to be a mother. And the quotes from the netmums.com website add that touch of realism, acknowledging the fact that you're not alone in how you feel. I can't recommend this book highly enough!


5 out of 5 stars Reassuring, Inspiring, Encouraging   March 10, 2008
Great book offering advice, inspiration, ideas (together with annecdotes from other mums) for you to live as a happy mum. Not at all dictatorial. Has practical ideas and tips for making life easier, more organised. The overall tone is relax and enjoy your life with your kids - no-one's perfect!


5 out of 5 stars No mum should be without it!   January 20, 2008
Such a brilliant, refreshing book. It is so reassuring to realise you are not alone and that your worries, fears and feelings are common. Includes fantastic tips on how best to look after yourself and not just your kids! Brilliant!!


5 out of 5 stars An honest book about parenting   September 1, 2007
 11 out of 11 found this review helpful

This is the first book I've ever read that is honest and tells you the real truth about parenting instead of making motherhood sound wonderful all the time. It doesn't hide the fact that children ARE hardwork. Yes there are lots of good points to being a parent (and I wouldn't swap it for the world) but there is an awful lot of decision making to be made during the journey of parenting and this book helps you prepare for them in a practical way and helps us parents realise we are not alone. This book is a must for every parent, whether first timers or not. Well done Siobhan.
