Why Mummy Swears

Welcome to the world of a typical mom!

A Sunday Times bestseller.

The husband is constantly away on exotic business trips, the son won’t let go of his iPad, and the daughter dreams of becoming a star of Instagram and getting rich by teaching the whole world how to live stylishly.

A mom does everything she can to keep her marriage and family intact in a home where the children and mold have completely run amok—but the only one who will help is the loyal and noble terrier Judgie. On top of that, mom’s new challenge is her dream job at a cutting-edge IT startup, where working mothers aren’t treated very well. Will she manage it?

Mom writes a diary about what worries any mother: how hard it is to raise children and keep the family, not to be “just a mom,” and not to lose a sense of humor even in the toughest moments—because life is too short to take it seriously.
