If you want to turn the tables....

Those books are very funny jingl. I haven't seen the Mum one but I got DSiL 'The Husband' for Christmas
I think he thought some bits were a bit rude

Would love to do that. Sadly my DD can't have children. for her.

Thanks...I've just ordered one for my DD.

Oh, that's sad Bbevan.

janea hope this one's not rude. Elder DD can be a bit of a sober-sides!

lucid that's lovely.

Doesn't seem long since we had the children's version Ladybird books knocking about the house for them.

We have had a couple of these - the one about the art gallery is hysterical.

I gave 'The Husband' to DSs and 'The Wife' to DDiLs as little extra presents at Christmas. I got 'Mid-life Crisis' for my birthday (quite flattered!).

The mindfulness one is hilarious,. gave it to my workaholic hard working daughter in the vain hope that even a tongue in cheek look at mindfulness would slow her down....it didn't work but did make her laugh

Mindfulness ???!

Oops posted too soon. that should have read -workaholic !
And meant to add, thanks jingle for the idea of a reversed mothers day gift

These are brilliant! I gave the Mindfulness one to my yoga teacher!

Too late for Mother's Day unfortunately but a great idea for DD's birthday in May as I usually try to find something funny to go alongside a 'real' pressie.

In fact the Mindfulness one looks right up her street.

Thanks jings I've just ordered one to be delivered to DD. Hope she likes it.

Ooh, there are going to be some pleased daughters.

Yes. I wish I'd seen it sooner metlot. I found it when I was having a quick visit to the Other Place. They've got a list of 'Books to buy Mum'. They seem to be making more of Mothers Day over there.

(the Other Place is Mumsnet, for any newer posters/readers)

Thanks for the tip, I need a laugh so does my DiL

Changed my mind and have sent one to DD2. I've already bought DD1 a bottle of Prosecco

I saw this in WHSmiths today if anyone else wants one

I bought dsil The Hangover one for Xmas.......everybody else thought it was funny!!

DD and I bought the Dad book for each other. Then I bought The Wife and she bought The Mum. Several pages of The Mum summed up her life so brilliantly - I love them.

We've bought copies of that for our daughters, both of them are celebrating their first mother's day as new mums. I bought the Ladybird book of Sheds for himself on Valentine's Day. He had to laugh, though he tried hard not to. The new Ladybird books on Mindfulness and being a Hipster are also entertaining.
