"Juggling? I'm a master" says Jane Bullivant. "I can bake, do my kids' algebra, plan Christmas and do my nails, all while sympathising over my friend's dead cat. But this juggling business has a large downside. I find myself never really living in the moment. It's all too frantic. "I love life. I want our family life to be rich, vibrant, alive, full of adventure.
But what happens when your children haven't read the same manual?"
Jane intermingles anecdotes and observations with practical tips and reflections "from one parent to another".
