If you've ever:
- Pretended to understand what "sunrise yoga" means (it's torture at 5:45 AM)
Tried to look professional whilst your child holds up your partner's novelty underwear on camera
Believed a "spa weekend" would actually be relaxing (spoiler: joy-free mojitos are exactly as awful as they sound)
Built a blanket fort and secretly never wanted to leave
Ordered takeaway and somehow ended up feeding half of South West London
...then this book is your new best friend.
INSIDE YOU'LL FIND: ✓ Zoom school disasters that will make you feel infinitely better about your parenting ✓ Why cats are fascists (it makes sense after wine) ✓ Spa weekend survival stories that prove "relaxation" is just marketing nonsense ✓ The Mother's Day surprise involving burnt toast, crayons in tea, and tears (the happy kind)
