Why Mummy Swears by Gill Sims
2.0

The main character’s a doormat, all the men apart from the gay friend are sexist arseholes, all but one female family members are pushy bitches and the female friends are personalityless props only dragged out when the story demands.

Less a story than a whining diatribe about how hard it is for mothers. I have better things to do than sit through the same rehashed arguments again and again. Nothing was subtle, there was no reading between the lines, everything was spelled out. Also just trying too hard to be Bridget Jones.

I gave two stars as there were some funny parts that read a bit like her blog posts which I do enjoy.

Finally, in the UK at least, you have no legal obligation to tell your employer you have children at all, never mind your colleagues!
