Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

Motherhood is beautiful. And exhausting. And confusing. And sometimes you just want to drink your coffee while it's still hot.Welcome to motherhood - where you can love someone more than you ever imagined and still wonder how you're supposed to get through the day.How to Survive Motherhood is a warm, funny, painfully relatable guide for moms who are tired, overwhelmed, touched-out, under-caffeinated, and occasionally wondering if everyone else somehow received an instruction manual.Spoiler: they didn't.Inside, you'll find honest reminders about the things nobody really prepares you for - the endless feeding, the laundry that never ends, the mental load, the guilt, the loss of your old routine, the five-minute showers, the nights that seem to have no morning, and the pressure to somehow do everything while keeping a tiny human alive.But this book isn't here to tell you to become a better mom.It's here to remind you that you are already doing a lot.With humor, honesty, practical survival tips, and plenty of "me too" moments, How to Survive Motherhood covers: - The basic things you're allowed to need - food, sleep, showers, and five minutes alone- Why motherhood can feel like Groundhog Day- Mom guilt and the impossible pressure to do everything right- The mental load nobody sees- Asking for help without feeling like you've failed- Lowering the bar when getting through the day is enough- Missing your old self while learning who you are now- The strange reality of being on the night shift- The little things nobody tells you before becoming a mom- And the most important reminder: it won't always be like thisBecause somewhere between the exhaustion, the mess, the cold coffee, and the "What am I doing?" moments, there are also tiny victories.The first real smile.The first "Mama."The little hand reaching for you.The moment you realize you can tell what that cry means.The morning after a terrible night when your baby looks at you and smiles - and somehow you think: Okay. I can do this.You don't need to have motherhood figured out.You don't need to do it perfectly.You just need to get through today.You are okay.And yes - you can have the cold coffee too.
