Description
Feeling like you're doing nothing all day, or that your time is being wasted, is a common experience for many mothers. Naomi Stadlen explores this phenomenon in her insightful look at mothering, revealing what mothers - and you - are doing when it may look like nothing to others.
Drawing on her extensive work with hundreds of mothers from diverse backgrounds, Stadlen offers a reassuring and relatable perspective on the challenges of motherhood. She addresses feelings of overwhelm, uncertainty, and frustration, providing a sense of understanding and validation for mothers who often feel like they're not being seen or heard.
This book is a worthwhile read for anyone who has ever felt like they're not doing enough, or that nobody understands what they do as a mother. With its unique blend of empathy, insight, and humour, it offers a lifeline of reassurance and support for mothers who need it most.
