Everyone with a mother and their mother need to read this book. Non-mothers especially because we don't understand how tough motherhood truly is. 

The last few pages were so moving it made me tear up. After reading that, plus people's reviews and their own stories of their mother/being a mother, it was all I could do to not start sobbing. 💔

PS. This book could alternatively be titled "How Not to Be A Useless Potato Sack of a Husband".
