Your mother is not a mercenary, or Why children are great...

It doesn't matter if you are planning to have children or not, looking at two strips of pregnancy test, a woman will still experience a lot of conflicting emotions. And the man, when he finds out, by the way, too. This book is about real, living, imperfect motherhood. About a mother who, through the prism of humor and self-irony, using a light dose of elegant mothers, tries to stand the day and stay the night. From pregnancy tests to battles in kindergarten. About the first baths, teeth, snot and awkward questions. We will walk in a respectful way through all periods of motherhood, trying to keep a course on maintaining common sense and mental balance. Let's analyze stereotypes, break patterns, gently "neutralize" the woman. We will develop immunity to unsolicited advice and superstitions. This book is for moms to support and inspire; expectant mothers to adjust and know what to expect; grandmothers to remember and relive again; and dads to better understand all these ladies.
