Why Mummy Drinks

Get ready to snort-laugh your way through “Why Mummy Drinks,” the hilarious Sunday Times bestseller by Gill Sims that’ll have you nodding along and reaching for the wine bottle faster than you can say “FML.”

Meet Mummy, the 39-year-old heroine who’s staring down the barrel of a future filled with advanced yoga classes, polite book clubs, and judgmental playground moms. But Mummy’s not ready to surrender to the sensible haircuts and extracurricular activity one-upmanship just yet. Oh no, she’s got a plan – and it involves a large glass of wine and a whole lot of “FML” muttering.

As Mummy navigates the trials and tribulations of being a school mummy, from forgotten bento boxes to French plait failures, you’ll find yourself laughing, cringing, and cheering her on every step of the way. Sims has a knack for capturing the absurdity and frustration of modern motherhood with a wit sharper than a well-timed “Oooh gosh, are you having another glass?” comment.

But it’s not all just laughs and wine guzzling – there’s a heart to this story that’ll make you feel seen and understood in a way that only a fellow mummy in the trenches can. So grab a glass (or bottle) of your favorite Sauvignon Blanc, settle in, and get ready to join the most relatable sisterhood since the Spice Girls. Trust us, “Why Mummy Drinks” is the perfect antidote to the daily grind of parenting – and a reminder that sometimes, the best way to survive is with a sense of humor and a well-stocked wine rack.
