"I don't know how she does it!" is an oft-heart refrain about mothers today. Funnily enough, most mums agree -- they have no idea how they get it done, or whether they even want the job.
Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile spoke to mothers of every stripe -- working, stay-at-home, part-time -- and found a surprisingly similar tend in their interviews. After enthusing about her lucky life for twenty minutes, a mother would then break down and admit that her child's first word was "Shrek". As one mum put it, "Am I happy? The word that describes me is 'challenged.'"
Fresh from the front lines of modern motherhood comes a book that uncovers the guilty secrets of mums today... in their own words. 'I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids' diagnoses the craziness and offers real solutions, so that mothers can step out of the madness and learn to love motherhood as much as they love their kids.
