Mothers and Daughters

Mothers and Daughters

Joan Sauers, best-selling author of Ageing Disgracefully is at it again with this witty and acute guide to one of the strongest and complex bonds of all- the mother-daughter relationship.

Filled with over 300 indispensable tips, gentle pieces of advice, pithy observations and poignant moments in an attractive gift format, this book will appeal to women of all ages and stages of life.

For Mothers
If she's old enough to have clothes that need hand washing, she's old enough to do hand washing herself.
Once she's married, don't call her every twenty minutes. Or even every day. Although well-meaning, a mother can be a wedge between her daughter and her partner. But if she wants to call you every half hour, why discourage her?

For Daughters
Learn how to recognise a guilt trip when she's laying it on you and be prepared to repel it. And remember that mothers respond very well to guilt themselves.
Once your mum retires, try to help her find new hobbies. Otherwise, her new hobby could be you.

Joan Sauers is the mother of a 20-year-old daughter. She is the author of the best-selling author of Ageing Disgracefully as well as 10 other books, including her most recent- Sex Lives of Australian Women.

Review: Beautiful, inspirational, and realistic. Sometimes we can over dramatise our lives, this book will put some basic perspective back where it should be...

My favourite:

"For Mothers"

Don't spoil her, except on her birthday, at Christmas, when she does soemthing clever at school, when she's sick, on weekends and of course Monday to Friday.
