Summary
Raw, candid and hilarious, Ellie Taylor's My Child and Other Mistakes is the funny truth about motherhood and all its grisly delights.
My Child and Other Mistakes is the honest lowdown on motherhood and all its grisly delights, asking the questions no one wants to admit to asking themselves - do I want a child? Do I have a favourite? Do I wish I hadn't had one and spent the money on a kitchen island instead?
Stand-up comic, broadcaster and actress Ellie Taylor is relatable, clever and interested in how women can have it all. Her honest, hilarious and moving account of the whys and hows of having a baby makes perfect listening for expectant mothers and fathers everywhere, as well as those who've been there, done that, and wonder how on earth they did.
In this very funny book, she writes candidly about her own personal experience exploring the decision to have a baby when she doesn't even like them, the importance of cheese during pregnancy, why she took hair straighteners to the labour ward, plus the apocalyptic newborn days, childcare, work and the inevitable impact on life and love and, most importantly, her breasts.

Resonated completely
This is the book I needed. Due to give birth in one weeks time and chapter 1-8 catalogued an almost mirror of where I am now. Thank you, thank you for your honesty. Funny and heartfelt, lived every minute.

Loved every minute of it
Especially loved the bit where Ellie did an impression of her breast pump 😂 A pretty solid reason to listen to the audio book!

i liked it even if I don't have kids 😜
I have to confess that at the beginning I was a bit annoyed since the stories and jokes are a bit exaggerated, but then I got used to the style - in the end it is written by a comedian so exaggeration is part of the genre and I really enjoyed it. totally recommend. I think it helps to enjoy it more if you have friends, family that have babies, you will definitely recognize here some of their stories and feelings.

Just what I needed
Funny and full of heart, I have listened to this during walks and night feeds with my 7 week old son.
I was going to listen to this during pregnancy but I’m actually glad I waited, the newborn chapter in particular provided me with such comfort. It was great listening to so many relatable scenarios and struggles.
Thank you for providing some light at the end of the newborn tunnel.

A juicy wrap around love hug. With snacks.
Empathetic heartfelt story of parenthood and feminism, sprinkled with cheezits. The friend we all need.
