Product Description
A is for Anxiety, Alcohol and awful Activities. B is for Bedtime, Baking and Boredom. C is for Childcare and Cooking With Your Coat on. N is for Not Swearing (bloody frustrating) and S is for Soft Play Places, Sniffing Babies' Arses (to see if they've filled their nappies - are there not easier ways of finding out?) and Sex (see also L, for lack thereof).
Can I Give them Back Now? The Aargh to Zzzz of Parenting merrily puts two fingers up to the pervasive notion that parenthood is an eternally rewarding experience.

It's not often you find a book that makes you literally laugh out loud on the tube.. Bought a copy for my sister who has kids and she loved it so much that I had to buy a copy for myself too. Very very funny whether or not you have kids (I don't).

As a 76 year old Grandmother, when I was given this book I wasn't sure I wanted to be told ( how to suck eggs )! I was wrong, this book is written in a humorous way but with great deal of underlining commonsense. I highly recommend it to mothers in waiting, mothers and grannies.
