Meet the trio that millions of readers have embraced for their candid, humorous take on parenting. Why Mummy Drinks, Gill Sims’s breakout Sunday Times bestseller, opens a window into modern motherhood with razor-sharp observation, warmth, and a generous helping of relatable chaos. Why Mummy Swears—the highly anticipated sequel—keeps the laughter rolling as the family negotiates screens, school runs, and social expectations with the same affectionate, down-to-earth voice that fans adore. Completing the set is Why Mummy Drinks: The Journal, a playful companion that invites readers to record a year of memories, moments of relief, and the tiny triumphs that make parenting worth it.

What Makes This Collection Special:
Gill Sims writes with a rare blend of warmth and bite, and this collection showcases the distinctive voice that turned Why Mummy Drinks into a nationwide phenomenon.

The Journal adds a tangible, personal dimension, transforming the set from mere reading to a year-long companion that readers can annotate, revisit, and gift. Owning the full set creates a confident, binge-worthy reading experience: you can trace the evolution of the family’s adventures, revisit familiar scenes with fresh eyes, and tumble into laughter again and again, all from the comfort of a single, beautifully packaged collection.

Books Included in This Collection:
Why Mummy Drinks
Why Mummy Drinks launches with a riotous, heartfelt examination of modern motherhood. The narrator captures the universal tug-of-war between personal identity and parental responsibilities, delivering humour that resonates long after the last page. It’s a smart, warmly funny look at how today’s parents navigate social pressures, birthday parties, and the constant demand for “more time,” all while celebrating the sheer door-busting love that fuels everyday resilience. This book is a perfect entry point for readers who enjoy sharp wit paired with genuine tenderness, and for anyone who wants to feel less alone in the chaos of family life.

Why Mummy Swears
In Why Mummy Swears, the rhythm continues with the same intimate, humorous lens on family life. The Boy Child Peter’s constant link to his iPad, the Girl Child Jane’s relentless drive toward online stardom, and Daddy’s globe-trotting career collide with the daily realities of school runs, mealtimes, and misadventures in tech. The result is a light-hearted, affectionate portrait of a modern family that readers will recognise instantly. Fans will relish the continued warmth, wit, and honesty as the author elevates familiar scenarios into memorable, laugh-out-loud moments.

Why Mummy Drinks: The Journal
Why Mummy Drinks: The Journal is a delightful, practical companion to the original book. It invites readers to document the year’s highs and lows, with thoughtful prompts, space for memories, and a playful nudge toward savoring the small moments. It’s not a self-help manual—it's a humorous, candid keepsake that celebrates real-life parenting. Whether you’re filling it for yourself or gifting it to a friend, the journal transforms everyday experiences into a personal story you’ll treasure long after the kids grow up.

Who This Set Is Perfect For:
This collection is ideal for parents and caregivers who crave humour with heart. It speaks to BookTok fans, contemporary-fiction readers, and anyone who appreciates witty, observant fiction about family life.
