Review

At last a mum who tells it how it really is! Every parent should read this wickedly hilarious book. No more naughty step for Natasha Desborough! --Zoë Ball

Product Description

As if parenting wasn't difficult enough, now every new, exhausted, poo-covered mum or dad feels duty bound to prop their eyes open with matchsticks and wade through endless parenting manuals instructing them how to be the perfect parent. Thankfully, however, Natasha Desborough, radio presenter, tv pundit and mum of two, is here to quell your feelings of inadequacy and discuss 'real' parenting, warts and all. Drawing on the experiences and confessions of real life mums and dads she uncovers the truth about life with children. She discusses an extraordinarily broad range of subjects including: replacement swear words to use in front of your children (Plaps, Twunt, Flufflenuff...); the advantages of using a Parkinson's disease sufferer to get your baby to sleep; substitute Willy Names (and the top 5 places little boys have put their willies); the Language Of The Playgroup - what other mothers actually mean; substitute Fanny Names (Tuppence - is that all its worth?); and, what sex is really like after childbirth. At last struggling parents of the world can unite, rejoice and bathe in their inadequacies as a real-life parenting bible is born.

5.0 out of 5 stars really cheered me up!, 4 Dec 2009

By	Alexandra Gordon (Altafulla, Tarragona. Spain.) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Having spent the day cleaning up mucous and fecal matter (Natasha uses much funnier and modern day terms in her book)and generally dealing with my 7 month old baby boy and my almost 5 year old son, I sat on the sofa at 8pm, kids finally asleep, and laughed my way through the whole book. It really cheered me up! I don't think my husband could believe what a good mood I was in when he got in! To all Mums: BUY IT!! To all first time Mums-to-be: Beware, this book might put you into labour either out of pure shock or sheer histerics, or both!

5.0 out of 5 stars laughs throughout., 18 Nov 2009

By	Clare Cotterill (Mid Wales) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Very true to life observations about the very natural behaviour of kids and adults alike. lots of subjects that are considered a no no in conversations but are still thought about, i'm glad there's someone who's as open and honest as me! Thank you for making me laugh hysterically about each one of them, neither myself or my husband could put the book down for long. We loved it. You will too......
