What joy! What wonder! How lucky we are!\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut then there's the crying. And the body horror. The tearing and the leaking. And the crippling isolation. And the sleep deprivation. And somehow a dead rat in the cubbyhouse and the endless judgement of peers and neighbours and the internet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eBut fear not. Ashe Davenport is here. And she's not afraid to say it's fucked.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eUnapologetic and frank, \u003ci\u003eSad Mum Lady\u003c\/i\u003e navigates the joys of motherhood in ways that will be familiar, hilarious and essential reading for parents and non-parents alike.
