Why does mom want to get drunk?
Number of pages: 400
Cover: Hardcover
Welcome to the world of a typical mom! Dad loves gadgets, son Peter and daughter Jane start fires and try to kill each other, and mom just needs a break... Mom turns 39. She was sure that at 40 she would be an elegant, sophisticated lady who speaks French, builds a successful career and knows a lot about art and literature. But her education was of no use to her, and she ended up stuck in a mediocre part-time job because it was easier to look after her children. A mother writes a diary about the things that worry every mother: how difficult it is to raise children, what to do with the fear of being a bad parent, how not to "live only for your children" and how not to lose your sense of humour even in the most difficult moments, because life is too short to take it seriously. Jill Sims lives in Scotland with her husband, two children and two border terriers, because one is not enough trouble. She loves hanging out on social media, drinking wine, trying to recapture her lost youth and looking for her dog when it suddenly decides to go for a walk. Her books "Why Mum Wants to Get Drunk", "Why Mum Swears Often" and "Why Mum Is Sick of Everything" are Sunday Times bestsellers. "Why Mum Wants to Get Drunk" is the winner of the British Book Awards in the category "Book Debut of the Year".
