I Didn't Plan to Be a Witch: And Other Surprises of a Joyful Mother Paperback - 1996
by Linda Eyre
The coauthor of the national bestseller Teaching the Children Values tells it like it really is in a breezy, true-to-life tour of the incomparable peaks and incredible valleys of "mother country". Bringing the high-flying standards of motherhood down to earth, Eyre offers sage advice on everything from practicing perpetual patience and simplifying one's life to learning to ignore the outrageous demands of tots and teens alike with grace and dignity (or not).
Summary
In her reassuring and hilarious report on being a mother in today's hectic world, Linda honestly describes not only the vital importance and magnificent moments of motherhood, but also those days when mothers feel they are living in a Roadrunner cartoon that never ends. She shares her own experiences with managing unmanageable schedules, coping with mealtime chaos, trying to find time for herself, and the sometimes desperate measures and compromises that are necessary to get it all done (and even then, not always). Whether offering advice on streamlining your life, coping with the martyr syndrome, or ignoring the outrageous demands of toddlers and teens with serenity and grace (or not), Linda Eyre speaks with the voice of experience.
