Yippee! I’m holding my copy of Keep Calm & Mother On: 21 Stories from Mothers with Children aged 1-21.
I’m one of the 21 mums who contributed parenting stories in this excellently curated collection where mums bare and share authentic, relatable parenting experiences in the Singapore context.
Our experiences are similar on some level. We share the common worry genes once wearing the mother title. We know how mindnumbing it sometimes gets being with toddler/preschooler as a full-time mum (I tell people my writing keeps me sane after a long tiring parenting day.)
Yet, at the same time, our parenting journeys are so different.
Because our children are different.
And we as parents are different.
Editor Pauline Loh has brought together a wide band of mums with diverse backgrounds and experiences.
* Straits Times Deputy Editor Clarissa Oon shares her travel experiences with two young tods.
* Former Channel News Asia Producer-Presenter Hwee Goh interviews her four kids for soundbites to illustrate the stark differences between boys and girls.
* Danger Dan Author Monica Lim tells what it is like raising teenagers.
* Pat’s Schoolhouse Founder Patricia Koh reflects on her life station as mum to three grown-up daughters who are now mums themselves
* Armour Publishing Managing Editor Ruth Wan and Pauline Loh have also shared their stories which I found especially poignant.
You can buy this newly launched title at Armour Publishing’s online store here. Better still, buy multiple copies for your friends for the upcoming Mother’s Day!
Mothering stories that you can laugh and learn from is like having a good girly chat with friends who get it when it comes to the joys and aches of parenting!
