It's not always easy being a mother. It is not always domestic bliss and we are not always perfect. The Bad Mother's Revenge is a wise and wry book that tells it like it sometimes is. This 'What You Definitely Didn't Expect Guide To Parenting' is a consoling and hilarious take on motherhood from birth to the teenage years by desperate housewife and mother of three, Sonia Neale. In The Bad Mother's Revenge, Sonia Neale reminds us:
* Most parenting books really are Weapons of Mass Deception (that don't have the answers to everything)
* The Dalai Lama would be a whole lot more impressive if he had to remain serene with three children in tow
* Children are irritating parasites who invade our homes and plunder our lives - and that somehow we still love and adore them more than life itself, and
* Answers the eternal question, how many happy teenagers does it take to change a light bulb? (Answer: There's no such thing as a happy teenager.) A witty, original and frequently poignant look at motherhood, that isn't afraid to look at the dark side, as well as the joys, of being a parent. Sonia Neale is a sometime Bad Mother who has delighted listeners of 720 ABC Perth every week with her tales from the edge of parenting. |
