Confessions of a Bungling Mother is an exceedingly funny book for all mums and dads who know how it feels to never be able to sleep properly, to watch incomprehensible films at the children’s clinic, and who recognise the feeling of absolute bliss when you can travel alone on a bus for the first time in months. Without a child! This book does not describe happy, slim and perfect super-mothers; no, it tells how it is, how chaotic it feels to be a parent. Most mums and dads with small children know what it’s like to feel inadequate and tired, and it is a relief to recognize – and laugh at – the everyday situations in which the bungling mother finds herself. This book will make your bad conscience disappear immediately!
Hillevi Wahl’s amusing tales have previously been much appreciated on the Internet, and she describes everyday events, train journeys, holidays in the sun and baby-swimming, all mixed with quotes, recipes and good advice.
