Overview
This paperback collection gathers Gill Sims's popular Why Mummy series, a sharp, funny take on modern motherhood.

Sims writes with honesty about school runs, sleepless nights, and small victories that keep a parent sane, delivering laugh-out-loud lines alongside real warmth. It's a series that makes tired parents feel seen, not judged, and this set is a great gift for any mum who needs a laugh.

About the Books
Across these three titles, Gill Sims builds a candid, comic portrait of contemporary parenting through the eyes of a wry, loving, thoroughly exhausted mum. Why Mummy Drinks, the series opener, follows a narrator juggling school runs, a demanding job, a distracted husband, and a house that never stays tidy, turning ordinary chaos into sharp, relatable comedy. Why Mummy Swears continues the story, leaning further into the frustrations and small triumphs of family life, from bedtime battles to social obligations, narrated in the same diary-style voice that made the first book a favorite. Rather than softening the messier sides of motherhood, Sims leans into them, finding humor in exhaustion, imperfection, and the gap between how parenting looks online and how it feels at eleven o'clock on a Tuesday night. Why Mummy Drinks: The Journal rounds out the set as an interactive companion, giving readers space to record their own parenting stories and laugh at themselves along the way. Together, the books offer a full experience: two novels that read like a group chat with an honest friend, plus a journal that invites you to join in.

About the Author
Gill Sims is a British author who worked in journalism, PR, and marketing before her viral "Peter and Jane" blog, a satirical update of the classic children's book family for modern parenting, grew into the popular Why Mummy series. Drawing on her own experience as a mother, Sims writes with sharp comic timing and genuine affection for the everyday absurdities of family life. Her books have resonated with readers for their honest, unglamorous look at parenthood, cementing her as one of the most relatable voices in contemporary comic fiction.
