Hair-raising, terrifying and hilariously funny, along the way she discovers that being a mother, however disaster-prone, just might be the only thing that she is truly irreplaceable at. ***- Publisher.***
Meg Mason is not ready to laugh about any of this yet, but that doesn't mean you can't ...'Mothers. Those women with purses the size of meat trays that hold an entire deck of school portrait photos and a chequebook, make a casserole without a recipe, make the tightest bed you'll ever sleep in and only swear under extreme duress. How, how, would I go from me to that?' At 24, Meg Mason was newly married to a man 'essentially indistinguishable from a young Matt Damon' after landing her dream job, writing for The Times in London. What could possibly go wrong? A holiday in Greece, an accidental shortage of birth control, and eight months later she was sobbing on the side of a road over trading her career for something she knew zip about. On October 8, 2003, she invented motherhood by Having A Baby. On October 9, she discovered a bunch of women had done that already. But still they couldn't tell her how to do it.Thanks to a helpful neighbour she knew that convincing a newborn to take a bottle by letting it lick a Dorito first to 'get more thirsty' didn't always work, but not what to do when your child won't sleep for roughly two years in London or in Sydney, or how to remove your hand from a stroller - after you've superglued it to the handle. Hair-raising, terrifying and hilariously funny, along the way she discovers that being a mother, however disaster-prone, just might be the only thing that she is truly irreplaceable at.

Meg is such a talented writer! I'm afraid I neglected many of my parenting and housekeeping duties because I struggled to put the book down. Who wants to stop laughing and fold washing instead?\\r\\nI kept reading snippets out loud to my husband because Meg had captured elements of the stay-at-home mom that I had struggled to put into words for the past 7 years. \\r\\nA great read if you're in that stage, or if you ever were in that stage. I think, if you have no children and start to read this book, you will mistakenly think it is science fiction. \\r\\nHope she writes another book. I will snap it up straight away!
