About the Books
Across these four books, Gill Sims charts one mother's journey through the glorious mess of parenting with a voice equal parts hilarious and heartfelt. Why Mummy Drinks opens the series, introducing a mum juggling birthdays, playdates, and the daily scramble to hold onto her identity while keeping a household running, all told through witty, diary-style entries that capture the small absurdities of family life with warmth and a knowing wink. Why Mummy Swears carries the story forward as the children grow older and the challenges multiply: teenage moods, screen time battles, and a marriage tested by the everyday grind of domestic life, with humor that sharpens without ever losing its underlying affection for the daily chaos and clutter. Why Mummy Doesn't Give a ****! turns toward bigger dreams and disruptions, as countryside fantasies collide with the stubborn realities of moving house, renovations, and family upheaval, all narrated with the same fearless, funny honesty that fans have come to expect and love. Rounding out the set, Why Mummy Drinks: The Journal offers a playful, interactive companion, inviting readers to record their own parenting highs and lows alongside prompts inspired by the novels. Together, the four titles form a cohesive, laugh-out-loud portrait of motherhood that never loses its emotional core, built for reading in stolen moments between school runs and quiet evenings alike.
