About this deal

I listened to the audiobook of Mammy Banter and found myself feeling like I had good company while doing various things around the house. I also switched between this and the eBook version which i enjoyed. On more than one occasion Tara insinuates that a woman without a child has an easier life. When this is not necessarily true. Serena's warts-and-all humour resonates with parents across the globe, people who love her frankness and fearless takes on living with teenagers, parenting, dealing with mental health issues and how to mortify your children and annoy your husband. Her content became so popular that Serena, mum to a six-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter, made the brave decision to leave her corporate job as a chief operations officer and set up her own digital marketing consultancy, Catchy Co. But most of all, she’s going to prove to herself that she can still be a mum, still work full time, and still be Beyoncé… a b "Serena Terry aka 'Mammy Banter' to release second book". www.derryjournal.com. 2022-07-18 . Retrieved 2022-11-20.

This story like the narrator was hilarious. Some of the things to come out of Tara's mouth I've said myself (on a weekly basis I tell my husband Im going to punch him in thd balls because of our children 😆) so listening to this was Iike sitting down and having a vent with my best friends. Nobody in this world goes about laughing and joking all day every day. I suffer from anxiety and I'm on medication for it, but I'm not ashamed," she says.If you are looking for a light, entertaining, and comical read/listen, this is definitely for you. If you are a fan of Gill Sims, you will adore Serena Terry. I think the author deserves some kind of award for the high level of entertainment that the park scene brought and would recommend it for this part alone (if you know, you know - no spoilers here!) This may be the easiest 5 star rating I have ever given - an absolute hoot! From the creator of viral Tiktok sensation, @MammyBanter, comes a hilarious warts-and-all novel about modern motherhood – and how having it all sometimes isn’t what you think it might be. Life changed, you know. That’s part of the deal when we become parents. You put your own needs to one side and focus on what’s important,which is putting those wains of yours front and centre” I’ve had hundreds of messages, many thanking me because they too have resisted getting medication but now felt they could ask for it.” The husband. I just loved how supportive he was. And I could also understand that he was confused by Tara’s change. I mean, if my husband suddenly started doing things with his hair or would start to wear other stuff and also react differently than normal, I would also worry/be confused. So yeah, at points I could understand, at other points I was like, boo, just let her do her thing. You can also see that she is getting a bit happier. It would definitely help if you would not just say she is fine, or nice, but instead gave a bigger compliment. But I did love that he was there for her and made sure that she had her own time to just do her thing. Just to blow some steam off.

Tara is a bit judgemental at times, judging those that she feels she is being judged by .. I have anxiety myself so I know this feeling 𝙑𝙀𝙍𝙔 well, but she makes a full circle by the end of the book and realises that the person who she thought she had lost was there all along and she was the only one that had been putting herself down (although her bratty teenager didn’t help) and she begins to appreciate those around her for who they are also. Family Parenting hot seat: BBC reporter Emma Vardy: ‘We had a major nappy incident with the worst timing...’I enjoyed the premise, as I'm a mom around the main character's age and feel the same about never making time for myself. Alot of the references I understood and made me nostalgic. It was a cute, light read. I don't think it's something I'd read again but I did get a couple laughs and some heartfelt moments from this book. It is a bit confusing with the derry/Irish words, but there is a little reference to these words at the end of the book (which I didn't notice until the end) so I just kind of read these words and didn't completely understand what it meant. I loved the premise and the main character finding to love herself more while realizing sometimes things are better as they are. Also, after I reading this I realized the Author was popular on social media. I could see her wit inside the writing so I'm sure her social media platforms are a bit funny! Family Parenting hot seat: BBC reporter Emma Vardy: ‘We had a major nappy incident with the worst timing...’ 08:00 Maybe it's because I've read so many of this type of book before and I'm just a little jaded at this point, but this book did almost nothing for me. It's the same story as usual... sad mom wants to make life changes, does things she hates to make these life changes, realizes she had it within her the whole time. Also, could not stand the kids endlessly whining and repeatedly saying mammmmyyyyyy. Goodness gracious this one was a skim for me at best.
