3 Boys, 2 Dogs, 1 (Ex) Husband and Absolutely No Idea

‘I never thought, when I met my husband at 18, got married at 25, had my third baby at 30 or even two years ago when I started writing this book, that I would find myself in the position I am now… a single mum to three boys, two dogs with a now ex-husband.

This is a brutally honest account of life since I weed on that stick. Pregnancy, haemorrhoids, cabbage leaves, mum mates, tantrums, holidays, hormones, sex, dogs and divorce.

This is definitely not a guide to parenting but it may make you feel a little less alone on the journey.’

Born, raised and now living in rural Lincolnshire, Elisabeth is a proud mum to three boys, two dogs and a cat (that replaced her now ex-husband). When not struggling to keep three small humans alive, Elisabeth can be found teaching ‘Outdoor Education’ around schools in the county, being overly competitive and drinking gin with her mates.

In this frank yet endearing account Elizabeth Mary has found a way to give voice to so many of the parenting ups, downs and mishaps that shape so many of our lives (and those of our children). One cannot but admire her attitude to life, love, parenting and relationships. You’ll laugh, you’ll cry and you may even admit to yourself (when no one is around) that “I did that too!”

A great read—honest and funny. Highly recommended.

Full of belly laughs, tears and parenting reassurance, especially if you’re mum of boys! This book is a must read for making us all feel a little less alone on this parenting journey. And if you find yourself in a similar marital situation, this is a glimmer of hope for you.

I laughed, I cried and by the end I only wanted to hear that a second book was available to hear what happened to Elisabeth and her 3 boys! A fantastic and honest reality of life with kids and love lost. It’s rare to find such honesty and it’s truly refreshing!

This book did not disappoint! Full of laughs and tears, both in equal measure. Any mum of boys would certainly relate and I could feel myself nodding in agreement throughout. For those gone or going through a separation or divorce, this too sees you reading similar thoughts and feelings. I recommend this book more! Please go out and buy a copy

Read this book within 24 hours of receiving it. A rare brutally honest account of being a parent especially to boys - unlike what the celebs tell you it’s not all sunshine, roses and looking them in the eye at their level! I laughed out loud, remembered having similar feelings, cried a little and smiled a lot while reading this. I look forward to book 2!
MISS ROCHELLE

It’s about a woman who has three boys and an ex husband. Husband works away a lot and decides to leave his wife and their children (who he sees every other week). The story takes you on a journey of parenthood and relationships. It is really honest in its approach and some bits are funny and very relatable eventhough I am not a boy
