Every mother can relate to the range of emotions motherhood evokes – laughter, joy, fear, frustration – and the blistering speed with which they can change. On a good day motherhood can be euphoric, on another, totally draining.
And then you add work to the mix, so that a pressure arises to achieve “work and family balance”, to use the latest catchphrase. All mothers make slightly different choices and have different experiences, but balance appears universally elusive. Talking to other mothers and sharing their perspectives was by far the most helpful thing for me, as I navigated my own journey. Knowing other people faced similar challenges was a huge sanity saver and put many things in perspective. And that was how the idea for Mother Who? Was born. The amazing mums who generously agreed to share their stories and experiences in Mother Who? come from quite different backgrounds. They reveal a diverse blend of perspectives and real experiences that should resonate with all mums and mums-to-be. Their compelling stories are complemented with practical information on issues like support networks, childcare, working with employers, emotional and social pressures, starting a business, health and relationships.
