Description
This is a book about motherhood ¿ our introduction to it, our methods of coping with the ups, downs and side-swipes, and our relationships with our mothers. There are 12 stories written by mothers, about mothers, for all the mothers who ever had doubts, looked back and realised it was either harder, more fun, more challenging and more rewarding than they ever imagined possible at the time, and it¿s about how motherhood has changed and moulded us all.Some of the stories include meanderings on how things have changed from being a young mother living in the middle of nowhere in the 1970s, to another mum¿s tale of going from the high powered corporate environment to suddenly finding babies don¿t understand schedules; there are stories about bonding (or not) with mothers, step mothers and mother in laws, and letting go of your children when they leave ¿ at whatever age they go, and for whatever reason. There are contributions from single mothers, working mothers, grandmothers, and daughters.This book takes a light and heavy look at motherhood ¿ the journey, the challenges and the rewards. For all the mothers ¿ at what ever stage of your journey, you¿ll laugh, cry, chuckle, and ponder over the words shared in these pages, and most of all, you¿ll find some of your own story here too - guaranteed.
