Sinopsis

According to Andrea Buchanan, “,mother shock”, is the state in which many new parents exist during those first confusing, chaotic, and often comical years of parenting. It is the clash between expectation and result, theory and reality, a twilight zone of 24-hour-a-day living where life is no longer neatly divided into day and night. It is the stress of trying to acclimate quickly to the immediacy of mothering, of formulating a new conception of oneself, one’,s role in the family and in the world, of shouldering a fearful new level of responsibility and a new delegation of domestic duties. In this much-needed and delightfully funny collection, Buchanan shares the insight she gains as she moves through the stages of mother shock. From “,Fear of the Double Stroller”, and “,Confessions of a Bottle Feeder”, to “,I’,m an Idiot”, and “,Everything I Needed to Know I Learned in Playgroup,”, Buchanan details the unimaginably difficult and unbelievably rewarding process of becoming a mother. Spanning the first three years of her daughter’,s life, these amusing ruminations on mothering will strike a chord with every new mother.
