It goes without saying that balancing motherhood with family, work and life can be difficult.  But motherhood itself in particular can be rewarding, exhilarating, frustrating and stressful and often all on the same day.

Mother Who? is an honest and candid book about a group of diverse mums sharing their frustrations, joys and experiences.  It touches upon realistic dilemmas that we all experience in our lives such as child care, employers, social pressures, starting a business, health and relationships all with a toddler or two in tow.  And of course the age old tale of “mother guilt”. 

This book was very inspirational and as a person who did not take easily to being a mum, I found the refreshingly honest stories somehow made my parenting skills (or lack of) seem quite okay in amongst the mix.  There is no right way to parent and Mother Who? relates stories from Kate Cerebrano, Claudia Keech, Naomi Simpson and Natasha Stott Despoja all who have their own remarkable and sometimes harrowing stories to tell.  But they all have one thing in common - they are mothers who are striving to raise their children in the best possible way their circumstances and situations allow.   

Whether you choose to be a working mum, a stay at home mum, or a stay at home working mum there will always be someone who thinks that whatever you are doing may not be the best thing for your child.  Reading this book highlighted the fact that the best thing you can actually do for your child is to live a truthful and honest life and teach them to do the same.
