more proof that there's no such thing as a 'perfect' mother

Shared experience from 4 different mothers, all with their own mothering style and ways of dealing with the highs, lows, and milestones of mothering. If you feel you're struggling to get mothering `just right', this is the book for you ... each of the `fat ladies' gives her take on issues such as sleep, toilet training, feeding, tantrums, etc., which highlights just how different each one's way of tackling these issues is, and that, at the end of the day, that there is no `correct' way to mother - there's just the right way for each of us. We are all unique as individuals, so why not as mothers?
