Are you a super-duper, totally fulfilled mother 24 hours a day? Do you give your children home-made risotto, help them with their homework, read them a fairy tale and sing them to sleep? Or do you give them chicken nuggets in front of the telly, herd them into bed and slump down exhausted with a drink? Do you let them watch ‘too much’ telly? Have you ever eaten their Easter eggs while they were asleep? Do you feel that other mothers are ‘doing it properly’ while you’re getting it All Wrong? Do you wish there could just, please, be a little less pressure? If you try your best but frequently feel a failure, if you – or your children – are in any way imperfect, then join the club: the Bad Mothers Club. Stephanie Calman has broken every rule and done it all ‘wrong.’ From giving birth with her pants on to making her kids watch more telly, she has persistently defied all accepted wisdom and professional advice. Outrageous, funny, & hideously true, Confessions of a Bad Mother is her story. Read it, and know – at last - that you are Normal.
