The Unmumsy Mum is a candid, humorous, and critically acclaimed memoir written by British blogger and author Sarah Turner. Originally published on 11 February 2016, the book subverts traditional parenting manuals by presenting a refreshingly honest, “warts-and-all” account of modern motherhood. It quickly became a Sunday Times No. 1 Bestseller and established Turner as a leading voice for parents struggling against the pressure of the “Supermum” ideal.
THIS IS NOT A PARENTING MANUAL. THIS IS REAL LIFE.
The Unmumsy Mum writes candidly about motherhood like it really is: the messy, maddening, hilarious reality, how there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach and how it is sometimes absolutely fine to not know what you are doing.
The lessons she’s learnt while grappling with two small boys – from birth to teething, 3am night feeds to toddler tantrums, soft play to toilet training – will have you roaring with laughter and taking great comfort in the fact that it’s definitely not just you…
