Читать книгу The Playground Mafia - Clare Christian - Страница 6

Few people in life are lucky enough to escape the clutches of The Playground Mafia, and if you’re reading this book the chances are you’re not one of them. Instead, like us, you will be more than familiar with the delights of Flaky Mum, Hot Mum and Midlife Crisis Dad and you will almost certainly have spent hours and hours wishing that there was a handy spotter’s guide available so that you could identify and record the many stereotypes to be found in your playground.

And those hours were not wasted for, as if by magic (if magic is purchasing a book), here it is! The only guide you’ll ever need to spot the different parental stereotypes inhabiting your playground.

Although we know it’s not very politically correct to put people into boxes (yawn), you have to admit it is quite fun. And when there are chocolatey prizes on offer, too*, then anything is justified, no?

So you may be wondering which particular box the authors of this book fit into. Well, modest as we are, we didn’t include an Utterly Perfect Mum category, but if there was one that would be us, right in the middle of that very small box.

We joke of course. Just like everyone else we’re a mix of many – some good and some not so good. But on the whole we hope we fit into the Like-Minded Mum category you will find at the end of this book. The amount of wine we two have drunk and cake we have eaten together means we tick a couple of the boxes at least.

So, whether you’re a bit Flirty, a bit Flaky, a bit Earthy or a bit Competitive, we hope you enjoy meeting The Playground Mafia here.

Especially Hot Dad. You’re going to LOVE him!

Clare and Elisabeth
