It's not easy being a mother. It is not always domestic bliss and we are not always perfect. In Bad Mother's Revenge desperate housewife and mother of three, Sonia Neale explains how most parenting books are really Weapons of Mass Deception, how the Dalai Lama would be a whole lot more impressive if he had to remain serene with three children in tow, and answers the eternal question, how many happy teenagers does it take to change a light bulb? (Answer: There's no such thing as a happy teenager.)

This original and hilarious take on motherhood, from birth to the teenage years, takes a poignant look at motherhood, and isn't afraid to look at the dark side, as well as the joys of being a parent.

Sonia Neale is a desperate housewife and mother. She has a wicked sense of humour, has published her short pieces on the Bad Mother's Club website and performs regularly on ABC Local Radio on the subject of the horrors of motherhood. She adores her three children, but frequently wishes they lived somewhere else. Far away.
