Produktbeschreibung

#worldsworstmum - you know you are doing it all wrong, but you do it anyway!

I wrote this series of stories to highlight something we women do too often. We judge, convict and have thrown the key away on ourselves daily! In the age of Social Media, we are expected to be either perfect or complete trash! Personally I'm neither, although killing my children (or thoughts of) occur daily!

I'm boring hence I attracted the name 'Nanna'. I don't drink excessively, gave up smoking many moons ago and I'm on my 2nd marriage - the first one I consider to be my marriage-learning study group, - now I'm onto the real thing - I hope to pass - but that's another book!

I'm a workaholic, in that I don't actually do 'nothing'. That Zen state isn't for me - meditation is beyond my brains capability and well, I enjoy doing things - irrespective of how mind numbingly boring some might see them. Drinking with the girls until I'm Pie-Faced is for others and as far as being the modern cupcake maker extraordinaire - let's just say when your kids ask you not to bake their birthday cakes - you know you pretty much suck in that department.

Really, I am an average mum learning the ropes as I go, who happens to want to kill her offspring more than occasionally! All I can throw on the table in my defence, is that raising my boys has been very much a solitary experience and that thankfully my Nanna has passed on and won't be feeling mortified at these stories!

Where to start? Here are just a few moments in my own parenting life that give rise to these thoughts… Enjoy a giggle or two. Grab a coffee and share this with friends - you might not feel so bad after a few chapters as a mum!

Autorenporträt

Donna Kirk is an entrepreneur, marketer, author and busy wife and frankly in her eyes the #WorldsWorstMum. The birth of her eldest son changed her life - having been a career focussed senior sales & marketing professional she quickly discovered that the needs of her son would require a change in her career if she was to devote the time needed for his care. Born with Cystic Fibrosis meant the early years of his life were spent walking through the revolving doors of hospitals and learning an entire new language and process and relying on health professionals to keep her son alive. The journey through relationships, the enormous pressure to have a second child who potentially could be born with the same life threatening condition, through divorce, a move to a new country and more has been documented. Donna's first book is a light hearted view - the second book due for release in late 2017 a more substantial look at the challenges of raising a child who is effectively deteriorating in front of her. A passionate, determined woman who continues to inspire and be inspired by the world around her Donna offers a unique perspective on motherhood. 15years on from those early days - we still manage those hospital doors - albeit less often and with a little more fun and enjoyment and for those 15 years I have been providing marketing consultancy and project management to a variety of business in Australia and New Zealand.
