Author:Hilary Gardener,Andrea Bettridge,Sarah Groves,Lyndsey Lawrence

Following up from the huge success of their first book, The Fat Ladies Club now write about their experiences as mums of under 5's. In their refreshingly open and intimate style, they talk about all the issues that every new mum faces ...

How do you deal with a toddler who will only eat chocolate? How do you juggle a second and third child into your hectic life? What do you do when your potty trained child does a wee on a fake tree in a restaurant? Will you ever get a full night's sleep again, without the entire family ending up in one bed? What happens to your sex and social lives? And how on earth will you cope when you eventually have to wave goodbye to your child on their first day of school?

I love Dr. Weissbluth' s philosophy that the most important thing to have is a well-rested family. And fortunately, thanks to this book, most days (and nights) we do!

just as she brought both humour and experience to her best-selling book on the menopause, Murray takes the same approach in this invaluableguide. That's My Boy! covers everything you need to know about raising boys, from how to cope with hours spent ona rugby touchline, to how to tell when cuddles are welcome

—— Waterston'es Books

an instructive and indispensible guide to bringing up happy and confident boys

—— The Observer

A well written, humourous and ironic book. A must for parents with boys

—— BBC Parenting

a persuasive and eminently readable blend of cultural analysis and anecdotal evidence, examining society's attitudes towards boys and the gender assumptions that we all sometimes make. She doesn't shy away from the big issues, addressing the thorny issues of education, fightin, sexuality and father-son relationships with a forthright approach and a wry good humour. A fascinating read of you've got (or are expecting) boys of your own.

—— Junior Pregnancy & Birth

Three times in the reading of this book, the courage, compassion and simplicity of Amis's writing brought me to tears. As a portrait of sustaining love between a father and a son, Experience stands alone among the testaments
