What is it like to be the only woman in a house filled with men? Hannah dreamed of a daughter and imagined how she would buy her dresses and dolls and weave lush pink bows into her braids. But a son was born. Then another one. When the third boy was born, Hannah realized that this was fate. The harsh school of the Boys' Mother taught her a lot: not only to eliminate the consequences of violent games and fights, but also to take an active part in them; understand football as well as an expert and masterfully fold paper airplanes; distinguish between types of dinosaurs and types of racing car models and act as director of role-playing games with a detective plot. While her sons were growing up, Hannah Evans thoroughly studied the intricacies of male psychology, which, as it turned out, was structured fundamentally differently. And I learned a lot about my own: everything is learned by comparison! She summarized her invaluable experience in this funny and sincere book, in which she shares with the reader the secrets of raising a “gang of boys,” recipes for their favorite cakes (including recommendations on how to get her sons to cook them themselves and with minimal damage to the kitchen), anecdotes from life and funny tests of parenting competence. And, of course, the indestructible optimism of the Boys' Mother.
