Free tubal ligation with every copy?
Mum A did an interview this week where the interviewer confessed that the book had almost put her off having children.
Oops.
This wasn’t our intention at all when we set out on our writing journey, but it did get us thinking that perhaps the book is slightly skewed this way. When we had a chat about it, we realised it’s probably because we spend a lot of time in the book divulging the truth. The real truth. And a lot of these truths are truths we have never divulged before. To anyone. They’re the things we’ve bottled up inside for a long time . Things we’ve pushed down beneath the other stuff that it’s easy to admit to. Some of these truths are things we haven’t even been able to admit to ourselves until now.
At the end of the interview, Mum A joked that each copy should come with a free tubal ligation. The lovely interviewer thought this was funny, but didn’t seem averse to the idea (again, oops).
So, how about you? Do you have people in your life you can admit the bad stuff to, as well as the good stuff?
Oops. Do people really think it’s going to be easy though? Seriously? The best comment I ever got about my writing was from a friend who is very anti-children who said I made parenting sound bloody hard but so rewarding. You can’t enjoy something fully without having to work hard for it. Except chocolate of course, you can enjoy that at all times regardless of effort.
Thank you for the book, i received it today. It certainly looks & sounds very interesting.

My bestfriend and i often joke about who’s turn it is to dig the hole to bury the kids in,you have to have that person to admit how much you dont like your kids on a particular day.. how you didnt want to get out of bed and just how bloody hard it can be. She knows, as i know of her, that i love my kids… the just really annoy me most days. People constantly tell me how adorable my youngest is, take her for a day or so and see what you think then hey…if u do decide to give out free tubal ligation let me know where i can get the book
