Scheduling chaos, mountains of laundry, discussions about screen time - family life can be quite nerve-wracking. But don't panic! In this book, which is as instructive as it is humorous, Katja Dederichs shows how mom runs the shop without losing herself in the process. And Katja should know - she is a mother of eight and a social media star in her part-time job. Millions of followers on YouTube, Instagram and TikTok follow her 'Mamiversum' and listen to her popular podcast 'Muttersöhnchen', which she runs with her son Noel. In her book, Katja shares her experiences, insights and best strategies to bring more lightness into everyday family life and into one's own life. It shows how trust, humor and self-care help to overcome challenges. How to make communication relaxed, set boundaries without feeling guilty, and finally stop comparing yourself to others. Parenting issues, fulfilled partnerships and authentic parenthood play just as much a role as the realization that nothing stays the same. And that that's a good thing. Honest, humorous and direct, Katja tells anecdotes from real life, which sometimes make you laugh, sometimes think and often take a deep breath. Because the secret of a relaxed family life is not perfection, but serenity and optimism. Her conclusion: We all have what it takes to master the demanding everyday life of parents, to bring cheerfulness and lightness into our family life - and to remain happy and relaxed ourselves.
