あらすじ・解説

There is no escaping the truth. Motherhood is complicated. When Kathryn Mortimer became a mother, she thought she had parenting all worked out. It turns out she didn’t. Not even close. Looking back, it’s hard to avoid the conclusion she could have done better. Her big mistake? It’s not easy for her to admit it, but the truth is she was blinded by expectation.

Expectation that her daughters would share her strengths, weaknesses, and goals in life. Expectation that they would grow up in a world no different from that of her own childhood.This book is her attempt to make amends. To say sorry to her daughters for her inadequacies, and to allow them to share their own stories. Harriet talks about her quarter-life crisis and how it helped her escape from unfulfilling work and a toxic relationship while Sally’s honest account of her mental health problems demonstrates why it is essential for parents to be attuned to the emotional needs of their children.

Mother of Millennials is a story about the challenges of raising children in an ever-changing world. It will shock you and make you laugh. It will pull at your heart strings and inspire you.

Mother of Millennials is a must-listen for all parents past, present, and future.

Who should listen to Mother of Millennials?

  1. Anyone living in the shadow of mental illness. Mental illness is reaching epidemic levels and is devastating the lives of sufferers and their loved ones. Sally provides a painfully honest account of her mental health problems and how they affected her own life and the lives of those around her. She talks about how the discovery of the term "empath" helped make sense of her anxiety and depression.
  2. Millennials stuck in unfulfilling employment.The book may help you understand why this has happened to you. It throws light on how expectation is the probable cause. Expectation of parents, the education system, employers, and society in general. But have you ever stopped to think if your well-meaning guides have led you into the wrong career? The good news is it’s never too late to change the path you’re on. Harriet’s story may provide the inspiration you need.
  3. Parents of millennials. If you’re a parent (or indeed any older relative) of a millennial, you’ll find the book a useful guide to explaining their world. It will help you understand why they care about issues such as the environment, veganism, and LGBTQ rights. It will acquaint you with terms such as emerging adults and quarter-life crisis. You’ll learn what live streaming and MMORPGs are all about.
  4. Anyone who thinks millennials are a bunch of lazy, entitled narcissists. Whatever your age, if you listen to the book you’ll come away with an awareness of millennial values. You may even be willing to accept they are making the world a kinder, more inclusive place.
