Why not get her this book instead? ---------------- This is mum. A mum has two very important jobs to do. One is to look after her children. The other is to do everything else as well. ---------------- Now Lyndsay's little boy is at nursery, she is looking for a job. At this interview, the lady asks Lyndsay all sorts of questions, which Lyndsay has trouble answering because she has the Octonauts theme going round her head. Lyndsay hopes she is not singing out loud. ---------------- This delightful book is the latest in the series of Ladybird books which have been specially planned to help grown-ups with the world about them. The large clear script, the careful choice of words, the frequent repetition and the thoughtful matching of text with pictures all enable grown-ups to think they have taught themselves to cope.

Originally bought it for my daughter who has just had a baby. But when I read it (ok, so you’re not supposed to read books before giving them as presents) I found it so funny but it was aimed at being a mum from baby to teen (& older) so gave it my mum instead. Yes, she loved it. I defy anyone who has had a child not to laugh / identify with this book! Brilliant! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great quality. As described. Arrived on time. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 22 September 2025* Great quality. As described. Arrived on time. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Scarily Accurate, Hugely funny and guaranteed to make you laugh out loud more than once. *by on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 February 2016* I preordered this book and it arrived today.I must live in a world of my own because I didn't even know these books were in existence.Well what can I say I do now and hilarious is the one word I would use to describe this book and hilarious is also the word I would use to describe my daughters face when I opened it and proudly announced that the ladybird book was for me. That expression will be engraved in my memory for ever. I am laughing as I type this thinking about it.This book is genius on so many levels, I was time warped back to my school days in one moment and then back to my early Mum years in the next. Actually it covers all my Mum years to date, The only thing that changes are the demands!!I have read this book from cover to cover twice over now and it enchants me. The text and pictures are the classic ladybird design.The content is pure and utter entertainment of being a Mum.I swear they raided my diary at some stage but then I guess most if not all Mums out there who read this will say the same.Brilliant and I am off now to find my next ladybird book for my collection.PS Page 30 was a particular favourite of mine - Geez that brought back some memories that are best left behind :) ## Frequently Bought Together - How it Works: The Mum (Ladybirds for Grown-Ups) - How it Works: The Dad (Ladybirds for Grown-Ups) - How it Works: The Husband (Ladybirds for Grown-Ups) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.sg/products/49041698-how-it-works-the-mum-ladybirds-for-grown-ups](https://www.desertcart.sg/products/49041698-how-it-works-the-mum-ladybirds-for-grown-ups) --- *Product available on Desertcart Singapore* *Store origin: SG* *Last updated: 2026-10-02*
