Mum's the Word: The Sh*t Nobody Tells You About Parenthood Until It's too Late
Couldn't load pickup availability
- The book provides a hilarious insight into the horrors of pre-partum perineal massage, losing every shred of dignity during birth, and the joy, fear, exhaustion and love that encompasses the transition to Mum. Alongside the hilarity, Mum’s the Word provides a refreshing raw exposure to unfiltered motherhood.
- Unlike other memoirs of this kind, the book focuses specifically on the first year of parenting; and delves deep into the hidden world of Newmumdom. An easily-accessible alphabet structure provides the format for the scores of true short stories. The quick-paced tales are kind to the target audience; a time-restricted mother who may dip in and out during feeds, though the all-too-relatable humour will keep the pages turning well after the baby has fallen back asleep.
- The witty and often shocking #mumfails (of which there are many!) are interspersed with moving stories about grief and guilt. Rebecca gives a poignant, heartfelt account of the impact that new parenthood has on a relationship, on friendships and work priorities.
