It Gets Easier! ... And Other Lies We Tell New Mothers by Claudine Wolk
Congratulations, you’re pregnant … welcome to the new world of being a MOM!
You’ve now joined a “private group” of other mothers and they are certainly quick to share, but how honest are they really? How judgmental are moms of each other? “Are you breast-feeding? You’re not? Hmmm.” (side glance) “I just love being a stay-at-home mom.” “Do you really? All the time? Really?” We see commercials and movies that show all the joys and rewards of being a mom, but what if that’s not really how you feel?? You might end up thinking something is wrong with you or you’re being a bad mom!
If you are about to be or are a new mom (or even an experienced one), you need to listen to the new audiobook of It Gets Easier! … And Other Lies We Tell New Mothers by Claudine Wolk now. The author narrates it herself beautifully which makes it even more personal. It feels like she is talking directly to you. Her style is smooth and conversational and you feel “taken care of.” So, sit back and relax … Claudine’s got your back.
And good thing, too, as right about now, you may be wondering what’s wrong with you, why you are struggling, and why aren’t you basking in the warmth and happiness of being a new mom. This is where the author found herself with her first child and she set out to find answers by interviewing other mothers and gathering the best tips.
Feels Like Getting Advice From a Friend
Claudine is very frank and honest about every aspect of being a Mom … she tells the TRUTH … and in a great, fun and casual way. Don’t we all have doubts about our ability to be a “Good Mommy?” We all need a girlfriend who’s been there before us and can help us out … Claudine is that friend!
Things change from generation to generation and today’s generation, she says, wants answers, “insider information” and uncensored advice. You’ll get all that and more from this book.
As the author says of her own experience, “It was a bit disconcerting to realize that new motherhood was not quite as easy as I thought it was going to be. I was always looking over my shoulder, wondering if anyone could tell that I didn’t actually like motherhood every second of the day. The truth is, although many will never admit it, new motherhood is incredibly tough.”
Things You Need to Hear, But Nobody Tells You
The author offers the advice that you really need but no one tells you … about pregnancy, giving birth, bringing the baby home, your body after the baby, your relationship with your husband, the pros and cons of returning to work or staying at home, dealing with guilt, the all-important schedule (game-changer!) and much, much more.
Says Claudine, “It’s not that easy. It never had been easy, and it never will be easy.” But it is so rewarding, too. People may have different reasons for wanting to have children but most agree that it adds meaning and a dimension to their lives that they would never have in any other way. “Children are what life’s all about!”
It Gets Easier! is also available in paperback and Kindle versions. No matter how you read it, you will come away feeling that you are definitely not alone and will take away a TON of tips and information to help you have a positive and joyful motherhood experience (well, most of the time!).
The audiobook of It Gets Easier! is available for purchase on Audible, Libro.fm and Google Books.
