Freeing Ourselves from the Mad Myths of Parenthood

Susan Jeffers explodes the modern myths of parenting as no one has ever dared before. With humour and compassion she shows how difficult it is to be a parent and reveals the insidious guilt traps set by the child care 'experts'. She questions many fashionable myths and half-truths that add to a parent's sense of inadequacy and guilt and offers her own 'survival' tools. Among the issues she addresses are: why parenthood can be a nightmare as well as a joy; the difficulties the relationship with your spouse can suffer after a child; how drastically life can change with parenthood; why mothers should not feel guilty to go back to work; and how we can have great fulfilment with - or without - children. This is the most liberating book parents will ever read!
