Synopsis

From the author of Mums Like Us comes a fun, witty novel about what it's like when an ordinary mum has had enough. Perfect for fans of Pedigree Mum and The Mummyfesto. It was just a squashed grape on the kitchen floor. Hardly a reason to get upset, right? But six years of motherhood has left Lisa Stratton feeling like a skivvy. Every morning before she's opened her eyes, she starts her mental inventory of jobs to do. And just like yesterday, the day before and every day since she became a mum, she's woken up knackered. So when her husband deliberately steps over the grape because it's `her responsibility' to run the house, it tips her over the edge. He wasn't always like this - they used to share everything. Then the kids came along and he saw it as an excuse to sit back. But this time things are going to change. Lisa has made a decision. She's going on strike...

Brilliantly funny. This book could spark a revolution! -- Fiona Gibson, author of MUM ON THE RUN
A book that is so NOW where many mums are trying to get their me back. I wanted to shout Yes at every page but I was too busy laughing and nodding my head in recognition. A must read for any mother going through the mumopause. -- Claire Smith AKA Ministry of Mum
