Why Mummy Drinks

The smash hit Sunday Times bestseller.
Tuesday 8th September
First day back at school. I am going to 100% nail being a school mummy this year. I can totally do this. Yes, this year is definitely going to be much better I am absolutely not going to shout at the children, let them stuff their faces with crisps or goggle away on the iPad. And I most certainly will not slump on the sofa at the end of the day, glugging wine and muttering FML repeatedly.

Why Mummy Swears

The hilarious second novel, and Sunday Times No 1 Bestseller, from author of the smash hit Why Mummy Drinks.
Monday, 25 July
The first day of the holidays. I suppose it couldve been worse. I brightly announced that perhaps it might be a lovely idea to go to a stately home and learn about some history. As soon as we got there I remembered why I dont use the flipping National Trust membership because National Trust properties are full of very precious and breakable items, and very precious and breakable items dont really mix with children, especially not small boys.

Why Mummy Doesnt Give a ****! –

Im wondering how many more f*cking phases I have to endure before my children become civilised and functioning members of society? It seems like people have been telling me its just a phase! for the last fifteen bloody years. Not sleeping through the night is just a phase. Potty training and the associated accidents is just a phase. The tantrums of the terrible twos are just a phase. The picky eating, the back chat, the obsessions. The toddler refusals to nap, the teenage inability to leave their beds before 1pm without a rocket being put up their arse. The endless singing of Frozen songs, the dabbing, the weeks where apparently making them wear pants was akin to child torture. All just phases! When do the phases end though? WHEN?

Why Mummy’s Sloshed

I just wanted them to stop wittering at me, eat vegetables without complaining, let me go to the loo in peace and learn to make a decent gin and tonic.
It genuinely never occurred to me when they were little that this would ever end an eternity of Teletubbies and Duplo and In The Night Bastarding Garden and screaming, never an end in sight. But now there is. And despite the busybody old women who used to pop up whenever I was having a bad day and tell me I would miss these days when they were over, I dont miss those days at all.
I have literally never stood wistfully in the supermarket and thought Oh, how I wish someone was trailing behind me constantly whining Mummy, can I have, Mummy can I have? while another precious moppet tries to climb out the trolley so they land on their head and we end up in A&E.
Again.

Mummy has been a wife and mother for so long that shes a little bit lost. And despite her best efforts, her precious moppets still dont know the location of the laundry basket, the difference between being bored and being hungry, or that saying I cant find it Mummy is not the same as actually looking for it.

Amidst the chaos of A-Levels and driving tests, shes doing her best to keep her family afloat, even if everybody is set on drifting off in different directions, and that one of those directions is to make yet another bloody snack. Shes feeling overwhelmed and under appreciated, and the only thing that Mummy knows for sure is that the bigger the kids, the bigger the drink.
