Why Mummy Swear offers insight into the everyday life and interactions of mothers up and down the country.

This book will not represent all mothers, but living in Surrey and navigating the early years of primary school for the first time I found enough similarities to empathise with Mummy in this book.

I enjoyed the book as it offered light relief in what is a stressful period of life!

I’m off to sort myself a G & T now! 🤣

Brilliantly funny book that's very relatable to real life. Lots of humour and worry mixed together. Very easy to read and addictive. I don't like to explain what happens and then ins and outs (I hate movie previews) but definitely will not be disappointed.

I have previously read and reviewed this book via my blog and social media. Due to a change of my circumstances I find it inappropriate to review this book publicly, I thank you for the opportunity

Unfortunately this book was not for me, it was a bit slower than I would like and it just didn't hold my attention. I am sure other people will love it!

This is the second book in the series and it is narrated by mum Ellen. It took me a long time to read this book as I found it difficult to get in to it. I’m also confused as to why Jane is finishing primary school at 12 and not 11 as is usual in the UK. I also didn’t find it as amusing as the first book in the series.
Thank you to the publisher and netgalley for access to this book in exchange for my honest review.

Great! Loved it, thank you for giving me the opportunity to read this one, it was fun.

The second instalment of the Why Mummy series was as funny as the first with some crazy stories and hilarious down to earth drama that I could totally relate to. An enjoyable, light hearted and funny read. Can’t wait to read more of the Why Mummy series!

I haven't read the first book because I didn't realise this was a a sequel, so I'm not sure how it compares but this was very quick paces which was good but I found it hard to get through mainly because I didn't find it funny, no it felt like it was trying too hard without actually being funny. I think that is more of a personal critique so try it and see if you like the humour and you might.

This was a funny book, with spot on observations. As a parent myself I could completely identify with those public moments when you don't know whether to style it out or die of embarrassment. It's laugh out loud funny in places. My only tiny criticism is that it's kind of too much of a good thing. The joke wears thin if you read too much in one go, so ration it a bit for best results. Perfect for by the bed for dipping into.

Another of the Why Mummy..... series taking a lighthearted view of parenting children and husbands! There is also some serious stuff here not to be overlooked. Being a working mum and looking after children and a household is a difficult business and the author discusses the wider gender gap that most working mums face. It's not a heavy book and we all recognise ourselves in the protagonist. Perfect holiday or January read.

Ok so I wasn’t sure about this book. I have the whole series now I think and will continue to read the others as the story line was interesting but some things put me off/frustrated me.

I liked the getting a new job aspect and settling into a role hiding that she’s a mum so she wasn’t judged. It was handled interestingly. She stood up for herself and protected her job which was good.

By about half way through, I was fed up of the phrase eleventy billion. Would have been good to use a few different phrases to exaggerate the number of times something has happened.

I did find that it really makes me not want children or to even get married which may be a plus or a bonus hahaha.

I would read another of her books though.

I’m a huge fan of Gill Sims I have all her books that I collect it’s funny and honest about her everyday life journal about her children her husband her friends her life you get two go on a lovely journey with her that takes place over a year which is such a great read you enjoy. It’s a nice book that you can have a glass of wine or gin in the bath with it’s such a good read. I gave this five stars read.

Why Mummy Swears is the second book in the Why Mummy series. I read and loved the first one and was hoping this one would be as good and it definitely was. It is laugh out loud funny in some places and totally relatable.

Thank you to NetGalley and the publishers for my copy.

I have now actually read all of the Gill Sims ‘Mummy’ books and really enjoyed every one of them. Even though I don’t have children I found them laugh out loud funny and very relatable. ‘Mummy’ is every hard working, hard pressed, multi tasking woman out there who is not a paragon of virtue or organisation!

Someone recommended Gill's books to me and as lately I have read a lot of crime fiction, they are a refreshing change, Ellen is a typical mum trying to balance her work and home life. Even though I don't have any kids, I do see that it's difficult to balance both. I have the other books in the series to read and am looking forward to finishing them.

Like reading about my life. Funny, touching, and truthful. Good book, would recommend to other parents

For someone who has just recently gone back to work after maternity leave, even though the kids are older, this book is very relatable.
The topic of how women have to juggle work/ kids and personal space when working is approached in a way that makes you laugh, but reflect at the same time.

Hysterical. I love all these books. She really has what being a parent means down to a fine art. Anyone who needs an uplift during those dark days should give it a read.

This was a hilarious read and shows that being a mummy isn't always perfect. Some of the stories were relatable. Would highly recommend this

This book is just hilarious. I loved it from the beginning to the end. There is humour and story. Everyday life problems with child, friend, work and family what lot of women has to deal with but not everyone talks about.
