Stuff I Forgot to Tell My Daughter

Every middle-aged woman wants to say in a firm, clear, loving voice to every young woman:
‘I have been you. But you haven’t been me, yet … You should listen.’
Liberated from the daily minutiae when her daughter left home, Michele A’Court suddenly found the time she’d never had as a parent — to think about being a parent. Mostly, she spent the time wondering if she’d told her daughter everything she needed to know — such as how to store ginger, get rid of bloodstains, calculate GST, stop your tights snagging, the meaning of feminism … that sort of thing.
So she began to make a list. The list became a hit solo comedy show. And then the list kept getting longer. So now it has become a book. A funny, wise, honest and maybe even useful book.
Turns out I raised a determined young woman with her own very clear ideas about how to live her life. Who saw that coming? I blame the mother.
All Welcome
