You're So Mummy
You're So Mummy is an honest take on 21st-century motherhood that sticks two finger-puppets up at parenting manuals.
Modern mums are swamped with parenting books and advice, but none seem to address the real questions confronting today's mother.
Questions such as:
- Who does the yoga in baby yoga?
- Is it okay to drink wine before wine o'clock?
- What do all the laundry symbols mean?
- If you invite another mum round for coffee, should you get dressed first?
No, it's not just you. Here to save your sanity, Sarah and Alex are two friends who've been around the park a few too many times.
Hilarious and refreshingly honest, this book won't tell you how to get your child to sleep, but will help you to find your way through the early years of motherhood with your sense of humour still intact.
For all once-normal women who now find themselves in charge of small people, You're So Mummy will make you howl in grateful recognition.

Easy read, very relatable. Happy tears at the part with the dog poo and the husband's socks!

The first chapter did make me laugh, but after that it turned into a sort of weird, backhanded advert for being childfree; the purported aim is to make mothers not feel alone, and if you're a very middle class white mother who hates her partner and doesn't enjoy her children at all, you might get a sense of literary high five from this, but I didn't. My baby is still very new, so maybe I just can't relate, but I found the relentless absence of any joy at all in being a mum quite depressing; I believe it's important for women to admit that motherhood isn't sunshine and rainbows, that's a very important conversation, but this book had six pages at the very end that discussed the upsides of kids (when they are eight - and don't forget it's shit again when they are teenagers). The writing was witty enough, it just made me sad.

A funny, witty and down to earth account of motherhood. I totally get these girls.
