'Wits End Before Breakfast!' is a riotous celebration of modern motherhood, from the first contraction to the last straw. Mumma said there'd be days like this. It was all right for her - she wasn't trying to balance a full-time job with kids, university assignments and a Labrador puppy, not to mention writing a book about the uphill chaos that is twenty-first century motherhood and how hard it is to get through things - like each day, for example... ... and, on the other hand, how wonderfully rewarding motherhood can be. Can we really have it all? Or is it all too much? This book is for every working mother who wonders if she's doing the right thing - and how much longer she can keep on doing it. You'll laugh. You'll cry. And, most of all, you'll realise you're not the only one...
