Mum Whats Wrong

The mothering manual we all need Claudia Winkleman

Mums: are you feeling lonely, confused or worried? Are you panicking that maybe youre getting everything wrong? Does it, in the words of Lorraine Candys own teenage daughter, suck to be you (Mum) right now?

Welcome to the most challenging part of your parenting journey: the teenage years.

It was all going so well and then, out of the blue, the little girl you love to the moon and back turned into an irrational, fire-breathing dragon. She lives in a messy pit of wet towels and sticky mugs, hoarding other peoples phone chargers and eyebrow tweezers, while rudely rejecting maternal intervention or affection.

Do not worry. Youre not alone. Parenting columnist Lorraine Candy, a mum of four (including three teens), is here to help. Her warm and witty family memoir will lead you to a more harmonious parenting place. Alongside a wealth of hilarious personal anecdotes, Candy offers you useful, easy-to-follow, well-researched guidance from experts.

This is a survivors guide for mums. This book will help you connect with your daughter and feel good about your mothering as you raise the bright and brilliant young women of tomorrow.
