    About this ebook

    Trisha Ashworth and Amy Nobile conducted interviews with hundreds of mothers while researching their best-selling book I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids. It didn't take long before these moms began to reveal their Dirty Little Secrets—surprising, thought-provoking, guilty confessions they hadn't told anyone else. Cringe-worthy moments ("I bit my daughter's finger trying to steal a bite of her cookie.") meet real insights ("I love my kids but I didn't always. It took time to fall in love with them."). These are the private thoughts that every mom hasand every mom can relate to.

Whether we’ve got one child or five, a 50-hour-a-week job or full-time duty as supermom, we’ve all got a few small, not-for-public-discussion, yet utterly crucial coping mechanisms. A couple stealthy habits or indulgences we rely on in times of need, and then conveniently neglect to tell our partners or closest friends.

      We, the authors, also have more than a few dirty little secrets of our own. What’s more, after interviewing more than a hundred moms to write our first book, I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids, we discovered that pretty much every mother out there does as well. Of course, no one wants to admit that,
