Description

From TV's award-winning comedy mum, Lucy Beaumont, comes her hilarious debut on the trials and tribulations of motherhood. My oldest daughter came home for a party this weekend, and in her best starving young person impression, rummaged through the refrigerator. If your mantra is “children are like bodily smells - your own are ok but other people’s are distasteful”, I suggest you avoid. If you want a honest, funny, witty portrayal of what it’s like to be a parent then you have to read this book! I try to serve for my warm beverage, a mulled wine with a lightly Spiced apple juice w/those cinnamon candies you decorate cakes with turns the juice a bit pink/red) for the kids.

She admits that she knows she’s being silly and wants her baby to be grounded, to enjoy avocados but also go to greasy spoon cafes. and last night it was only after reading this that I remembered to take my bra off as we had been dealing with a Huffy Gabbie as to why she could not take her Easter Bumble Bee to bed with us ( it squeaks and rustles plus her Brother had already destroyed his Sloth and was eyeing Stripes ( name of Bumble Bee) up next! I think this quite sums it up: “ it was good to know the type of mother I was going to be - angry and impulsive, messy but loving. My daughter is a similar age to Elsie and so I found myself nodding along with many of the stages that Lucy talks about. From when Lucy was hospitalised with indigestion in her third trimester (blame the burrito), to when she was *this close* to slapping her hypnobirthing instructor, to fi nding herself drinking a whole pint of custard in one sitting.Throughout the book we hear lots of funny stories from Lucy’s life and the extra challenges faced with motherhood! I'm really not a fan of 'mumsy' books so 'Diary Of A Confused Mum' is not a title I would usually pick up. After she and my youngest got their first taste of drinking custard, I realized I would probably never make a half batch.

So we did not feel we were being particularly mean but Gabbies huffy expression had me feeling she was on the cusp of phoning the SSPCA or Childline! Drinking Custard Diary Of a Confused mum is all about Lucy's reflection on life before and after becoming a first time mum. Known for her sharp, witty and surreal view on everyday life, Lucy shares the unpredictable craziness of being a mum in this 'mumoir'. Come down the travelators, exit Sainsbury's, turn right and follow the pedestrianised walkway to Crown Walk and turn right - and Coles will be right in front of you.I giggled when I read her list of Why I Want A Child as unless you have children you don’t grasp the reality of actually having children, messy, loud and a constant lack of sleep. There are sporadic interjections from husband, Jon Richardson, reminiscent of their successful telly programme, Meet the Richardsons. I think one think I appreciated about this book was there was no frills about how tough parenting can be; but it’s still the most amazing thing you can do! I’m going to make some of this to see if she can keep her medication down with this…because the rest of the year is a trial with her meds.

Each relatable aspect and upside down moment has been included in this and it really is a perfect read.Following in the footsteps of other comedians' books, this touched on the matter of class along with comedic diary-style entries.

Known for her sharp, witty and surreal view on everyday life, Lucy shares the unpredictable craziness of being a mum in this ‘mumoir’.

It’s typical that one of the only times I can’t find the audible edition on here, that’s when it feels most crucial to the review! the frosting is made of whipped egg whites, with a hot simple sugar syrup poured in while the mixer is running on HIGH! Jon is a vegan, and she becomes one apart from during pregnancy, but both admit to lapses which include dead cows and her mother’s cooking when she arrives on mercy missions. The challenges of pregnancy and antenatal groups are described with humour and brutal honesty, especially with her husband in attendance.
