About this listen
Raw, candid and hilarious, Ellie Taylor's My Child and Other Mistakes is the funny truth about motherhood and all its grisly delights.
My Child and Other Mistakes is the honest lowdown on motherhood and all its grisly delights, asking the questions no one wants to admit to asking themselves - do I want a child? Do I have a favourite? Do I wish I hadn't had one and spent the money on a kitchen island instead?
Stand-up comic, broadcaster and actress Ellie Taylor is relatable, clever and interested in how women can have it all. Her honest, hilarious and moving account of the whys and hows of having a baby makes perfect listening for expectant mothers and fathers everywhere, as well as those who've been there, done that, and wonder how on earth they did.
In this very funny book, she writes candidly about her own personal experience exploring the decision to have a baby when she doesn't even like them, the importance of cheese during pregnancy, why she took hair straighteners to the labour ward, plus the apocalyptic newborn days, childcare, work and the inevitable impact on life and love and, most importantly, her breasts.

Memorable, affirming, funny and heartfelt.
I shouldn't have listened at 30 weeks pregnant withmy second child - I have been walking around my house weeping silently for almost the entire book. Intensely relatable, deeply affirming and comforting and Ellie reads her book wonderfully.

Begins great!
I really enjoyed the first half of the book but after a while the making sure it was covered that the other path taken was covered to ensure the trolls are satisfied… it wore thin and was repetitive. I didn’t finish.

Brutally honest and hilarious!
Even if I was in tears of laughter, there was also a lot of beauty throughout this blunt account of motherhood. What a beautiful love letter to your child, Ellie.

Wished it was longer
Ellie story and performance was top notch. I could have listened forever. Can't wait for the sequel about having a teenager.
