Book Nook - A Gen X Mum – The Diary

 A Gen X Mum – The Diary is the brutally honest, hilariously relatable, occasionally alarming account of one British family’s move to the sun-drenched Costa del Chaos – sorry, Costa del Sol – where the author, self-appointed CEO of “Team Tartlett,” tries to hold together two unruly boys, one easily traumatised husband, and her own rapidly diminishing grip on sanity.

 

Told through real-time diary entries spanning years of mishaps, meltdowns, and “memorable” family moments, this is motherhood without the Instagram filter:

 

— the Wi-Fi outages that nearly broke them

— the nit infestations that nearly broke everyone

— the airport adventures, accidental moonies, and creative uses of sausages at breakfast

— the marital negotiations involving duvets, PMT, and misinterpreted bear-like laughter

 

Sarah chronicles it all with razor-sharp humour, startling honesty, and the kind of comic timing only a mother of boys could have. She is equal parts Chief Health & Safety Officer, part-time referee, reluctant naturist, manners enforcer, emotional support human, and woman clinging to a satsuma and a sense of humour for dear life.

 

 If you love laugh-out-loud memoirs, clever observational comedy, or simply need reassurance that your family is doing just fine, this book is your new best friend.

 “Warm, wild, and wonderfully wonky, A Gen X Mum reminds us that the messiest moments often make the best memories,and that survival, not perfection, is the real parenting win.”
