The Shit Mum's Club Confidential

Motherhood was supposed to be gentle lullabies, matching lunchboxes, and lovingly organised sticker charts. Instead, Anastasia Paul got burnt toast, emotional support tiramisu, neurodivergent twin boys who operate like caffeinated raccoons, a sarcastic lorry-driver husband, three near-feral dogs, and a kitchen that smells permanently of panic and custard. The Shit Mums Club: Confidential is a brutally honest, hilariously chaotic diary-style memoir about surviving motherhood while bipolar, exhausted, overwhelmed, and somehow still the person everyone else comes to for help. Across twenty-one laugh-out-loud chapters, Anastasia shares: - school-run catastrophes- parenting fails- friendship drama- public humiliation- emotional meltdowns- accidental kitchen fires- Westlife karaoke therapy- and the beautiful, messy reality of raising neurodivergent children.Featuring unforgettable friends Sarah, Julia, Jane, and Patricia, plus twins Alfie and Archie - one autistic with the voice of a tiny magistrate and one Pokémon-obsessed ADHD whirlwind - this book is for every mum who has ever cried in Tesco, forgotten World Book Day, or served fish fingers three nights running and called it "balance." Funny, raw, emotional, sweary, and painfully relatable, The Shit Mums Club: Confidential reminds us that perfection is overrated - but laughter can save your sanity. Welcome to the club.
