Toddlers are messy. Toddlers are moody. Toddlers have opinions and demands and emotions that flip from happy to hysterical in an instant. Essentially...toddlers are cats. And parenting them? Well, parenting toddlers is nonstop cat herding. Herding Cats is an up-close, real-life look at the world of a toddler parent. A world of tantrums and potty training. A world of never-ending snot. A world of hilariously inappropriate comments, limitless growth, and perfectly timed "I love you"s.

Motherhood is full of little highs: the smell of a newborn baby's head, the feeling of a small hand holding yours, the infectious sound of laughter, first words, first steps, the first day at school, endless tiny but significant hints of the person your child is to become. But motherhood is not without its lows either: tears and tantrums (your child's and your own), fears, self-doubt, sleepless nights, and that's not to mention the mum fails.

Are you feeling overwhelmed? Exhausted from inevitable tantrums, picky eating, toilet-training mishaps, sleep problems, and random acts of defiance that come with raising a toddler?

Due lineette sul test, e di colpo la nostra vita cambia per sempre. Fino a un momento fa eravamo noi due soli, una coppia, ora saremo in tre (o in quattro, in cinque...). È un'ondata di felicità, stiamo toccando il cielo con un dito, eppure allo stesso tempo non possiamo nascondere mille paure.
