I thought having a baby would complete me. I was wrong.
I believed I'd be a great parent and a natural 'mum'. I wasn't.
I thought I'd know what to do. I didn't.
What happens when two become three? When sleep is a myth? When friends used to see you – but now see your baby? Is your identity lost in motherhood? Does your brain still work? 'In those early years I could barely follow an episode of Peppa Pig,' says Anne, 'let alone pick up a Bible.'
This book helps you make wise decisions over your children. It addresses the challenges of parenthood – for instance, should you return to work? Anne uses examples from her own struggle, together with biblical insights and other people's experiences, to help you know you are not alone.
A droll and insightful companion for all who wrestle with parenthood.
