Product Description
Product Description
A no-holds-barred account of what it is like to become a mother for the first time: getting it right, getting it wrong, the guilt and giggles. In a refreshingly open and intimate style, the "Fat Ladies Club" talk about all the issues that every new mum faces. How do you deal with a toddler who will only eat chocolate? How do you juggle a second and third child into your hectic life? What do you do when your potty trained child does a wee on a fake tree in a restaurant? Will you ever get a full night's sleep again, without the entire family ending up in one bed? What happens to your sex and social lives? And how on earth will you cope when you eventually have to wave goodbye to your child on their first day of school?
About the Author
The Fat Ladies Club are Hilary, Sarah, Andrea, Annette and Lyndsey. They met at ante-natal classes, became firm friends and decided to write about their experiences of first-time pregnancy in their bestselling THE FAT LADIES CLUB. Now it's time to talk frankly and openly about the ups and downs of new motherhood...

Wonderful! Please write more!,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Fat Ladies Club: Facing the First Five Years (Mass Market Paperback)
I adored the first Fat Ladies book, and after my daughter was born and I found out that the "Fat Ladies" had released another, I had to read it! I love the way the book is written in handy chapters with each chapter introduced generally, then broken down into the different experiences of the individual women. Best of all are the amusing cartoons - I can these "normal" women - and feel as if I know them well already.For any new mothers out there, this is the book to read as you deal with the early years - with the range of experiences that these four mothers have dealt with, you soon learn that nothing is a problem, everything can be overcome, and there is so much to laugh at, looking back. There's a really fantastic chapter about the funny things that happened to the mums,and I was glad I had done my pelvic floor exercises, so much did I laugh at the different incidents - particularly one about Sarah and her son, Jack - who had got so used to peeing outside (in the toilet training scenario he would pee outside in the garden), he once peed outside a restaurant door in the nice potted shrubs before an audience of diners!Ground, swallow me up kind of stuff!

Fun read,

This review is from: The Fat Ladies Club: Facing the First Five Years (Mass Market Paperback)
I read the first FLC which I thought was pretty good. I enjoyed this one even more. I think it is good to read something other than the baby 'textbooks' just to see that you are not alone in being unable to do things EXACTLY by the book. I really identified with the authors and now find myself worrying that Andrea and the boys are doing OK. I think I am most like Sarah, an at home mum, big on good nutrition and discipline

more proof that there's no such thing as a 'perfect' mother,
This review is from: The Fat Ladies Club: Facing the First Five Years (Mass Market Paperback)
Shared experience from 4 different mothers, all with their own mothering style and ways of dealing with the highs, lows, and milestones of mothering.
If you feel you're struggling to get mothering `just right', this is the book for you ... each of the `fat ladies' gives her take on issues such as sleep, toilet training, feeding, tantrums, etc., which highlights just how different each one's way of tackling these issues is, and that, at the end of the day, that there is no `correct' way to mother - there's just the right way for each of us. We are all unique as individuals, so why not as mothers?
