Terrified - Happy - Lonely - Proud - Terrified - Depressed - Ecstatic - Crazy - Tearful - Hysterical - Happy - As mad as a tree - And actually - weirdly - it surprised me - full of love for the unborn dot of life. How did you first feel when you found out you were going to be a Mum? We don't need to prove our love for children to anyone - except to our children - and they already know it. And that we should give ourselves and each other a break, embrace the shortcut (shamelessly!) - And feel confident that our love for our children will help us through. The point of the book - apart from to make people laugh a bit - is to remind modern mothers that that they are MORE than just mothers - they are people, too. I Don't Know Why She Bothers is a book for mothers who feel guilty about not being perfect - which I think pretty much covers all mothers these days, no matter what we do or don't do.
