Always Distracted : Motherhood, Mum Guilt, and Trying to Be Present in the Age of Phones, Screens, and Endless Noise
Overview
If you've ever hidden in the loo for a doomscroll, shouted "PUT YOUR SHOES ON" while refreshing WhatsApp, or felt that sting of mum guilt at bedtime - this is your book.
Parenting in the digital age means we're constantly stretched between kids, screens, and the never-ending to-do list. Phones buzzing, school apps pinging, Instagram mums looking perfect while your tea goes cold. It's no wonder modern motherhood feels overwhelming.
Always Distracted is not a polished parenting guide. It's a funny, raw, and painfully relatable take on distracted parenting, written for mums who are burnt out, frazzled, and wondering if they're the only ones failing. Inside you'll find:
The reality of screen time and iPad babysitting (and why it doesn't make you a bad mum).
Late-night doomscrolling, comparison traps, and the pressure to be present.
The myth of "quality time" - and why small, scrappy moments matter more than big days out.
Honest stories about guilt, overwhelm, and the chaos of modern motherhood - with a bit of humour to keep you going.
If you're looking for a relatable motherhood memoir that feels like chatting to a mate on the sofa - rather than a lecture on "intentional parenting" - this is it.
You're not broken. You're just tired. And you're not alone.
