Which are you?

Perfect Mothers:
Smile serenely
Run immaculate homes
Make nappies into kites
Read books on Child Development
Never raise their voices

Real Mothers:
Have food on their jumpers
Never finish anything
Limp from treading on Sticklebricks
Read romantic novels on the quiet
Squeak with exhaustion

Very funny, very true!!

Posted to tiggsybabes...when it all gets too much, make a cup of tea, put your feet up and read this for reassurance that you're not alone!

With love from another 'not perfect' mother!

Fab book! I just expected it to be funny & was pleasantly surprised to find it very useful. 2 other people want this after me, so I'll reluctantly part with it. I shall look out for my own copy to keep :)

Released on Monday, April 05, 2004 at Chapeltown Post Office in Sheffield, England United Kingdom.

Posted to MarianFrench. Hope you enjoy it as much as I do. I've promised it to Seren after you, who is due to have her first baby in July.

Book arrived safe and sound. Will journal again when I have read.

Great read and very entertaining although I wish I had read it pre birth! My son is currently eighteen months old and therefore I felt that half the book was "yes - been there, done that" one chapter was absolutely relevant and the rest was "oh no - we haven't got that to come have we?" It would be a great reference book to dip in and out of over those first three years.

It's all great common sense advice - I just hope that I can remember it when the time comes!!

I've just started to read this book, I've enjoyed what I've read so far and will hopefully be sending it on soon :)
