Mama Fatale
Non-Fiction, Self-Help / Parenting
Woman in a state of emergency
Having children and bringing them up is a blessing, but it’s just non-stop. There are stress traps lurking everywhere: Whom to tell, and when to tell them, that you’re pregnant? How to get your body to be as bloody radiant and blissful as the world expects it to be? How to master the first year, alternating between feeling overwhelmed and sinking into monotonous boredom? What to do about the nursery’s merciless drop-off and pick-up times? And does personal responsibility work for the kids’ homework, too?
Eva Karl Faltermeier writes humorously and self-deprecatingly about the limits to what we can take. Setting out her radically pragmatic solutions to the typical situations she finds herself in as a mother – an approach usually based on gut instinct or sparing one's nerves. Because ultimately, every hurdle can be overcome in wonderful and imperfect ways!
• Enough of this ubiquitous parental perfectionism!
• Brash, direct, witty – an experienced mother tells it how it is
