The attraction of ‘Why Mummy Swears’ is relating to the main character and yes, there were many funny and astute observations of modern parenting that would resonate with most mums.
However, there were some things I just couldn’t relate to:
a) Her choice of swear word is ’ bastarding ‘ - is that even a word?
b) She seems obsessed with her own middle-classness and with preserving her middle-class appearance
c) Her husband is a sexist and self-centred prick. But in a middle-class way.
I didn’t actually finish the book. I didn’t think, ‘f**k this bastarding book’ …I just lost interest and couldn’t be bothered to pick it up again.

Not as good as the first one but still really enjoyable! I got so mad with Ellen's husband at times that I needed some time to cool off.
