Worry with Mother: 101 Neuroses for the Modern Mama - Hardcover

Anyone who has ever given birth knows that a mother's worrying is never done. Parenting books give wildly contradictory advice, late-night Googling induces blind panic, and, in today's ultra-competitive environment, other parents just make you feel worse. This hilarious book, by first-time mother and Sunday Times columnist Francesca Hornak, captures perfectly the madness of modern parenting, with 101 worries all mums will have experienced themselves, on topics including food-throwing toddlers, technology-addicted teenagers, and an imaginary friend called Neil. Beautifully illustrated by renowned cartoonist Dorrance, this book is a welcome slice of light relief from all the fretting mums are expected to do these days.

Francesca Hornak has been a writer at Sunday Times Style Magazine since 2010, writing social commentary pieces including her satirical column History of the World in 100 Modern Objects, published as a book also available from Pavilion. She has also written for Grazia, Stylist, Elle, The Guardian, Marie Claire and Mother & Baby Magazine. She lives in London with her husband, also a journalist, and baby son, who has already given her ample material for this book.
