A fresh new look brings this parenting classic up-to-date for a new generation of mothers and mothers-to-be. Taking an irreverent and humorous look at the trials and tribulations of motherhood, Radio 4's Libby Purves has created an invaluable survival guide so that even the most unpromising madonna can cope with the baby years. This is a parenting book with a difference- rather than a serious tome laying down the law, Libby Purves' lighthearted book shamelessly describes how to cut the corners and bend the rules that never mattered much anyway. Forget the other parenting books that hide the real truth- this is the true battle manual for mothers on the front line! This timeless guide to coping with motherhood has been revised, bringing it up-to-date for a whole new generation of mothers and mothers-to-be. Based on Libby Purves' own experience of domestic havoc with two babies and on the wit and wisdom of fifty like-minded mothers, this motherhood companion guide is full of down-to-earth tips and hilarious anecdotes. Topics covered include pregnancy, preschoolers, sibling fights, fraught outings, nannies and careers.This is an invaluable guide to being an imperfect mother- and, more importantly, enjoying it.

 I've already bought two copies to give away...

There are only two books I've ever bought multiple copies of because I kept giving them away, and this is one of them. It is the single best 'baby prep' book I laid my hands on - and I read far too much in my first pregnancy! I laughed so hard I cried, and it reminded me that kids are meant to be fun. She makes things so much simpler and totally defuses a lot of the inadequate parent guilt that seems to kick about. Really easy to read and understand, even when sleep-deprived, and full of useful tips and anecdotes. Even dear husband found it amusing when I read bits out to him...
