I Love You, But F*CK Off
Marriage, Motherhood & Meltdowns
By Katie Roos
Motherhood is beautiful.
It's also loud, messy, exhausting, hilarious, overwhelming, heartbreaking, and sometimes makes you want to lock yourself in the pantry with a coffee and pretend nobody knows where you are.
I Love You, But F*CK Off is a brutally honest, funny, and heartfelt look at motherhood, marriage, neurodiversity, mental load, mum rage, and the beautiful chaos that comes with raising a family.
This isn't a parenting manual.
It's a survival guide for the mums who are doing their best while secretly wondering if everyone else is finding it just as hard.
Inside you'll find:
Honest stories from real motherhood
Laugh-out-loud moments you'll recognise immediately
Reflections on parenting neurodivergent children
Practical exercises and journal prompts
Gentle reminders that perfection is a myth
Permission to be a human before being a mum
For the mums who:
Love their children fiercely
Feel touched out before lunchtime
Wonder if everyone else has it together
Occasionally dream about running away to a hotel alone
Need someone to say, "Me too."
If you've ever looked at your beautiful family and thought "I love you all, but please leave me alone for five minutes," this book is for you.

The Author Behind the Pen
Hi, I'm Katie.
I'm a South Australian author, mum of five, cancer survivor, small business owner, and firm believer that motherhood is both the most beautiful and most chaotic job in the world.
I write about the parts of family life that don't usually make it onto social media—the mental load, marriage, parenting neurodivergent children, survival mode, and those moments where you love your family fiercely but also need everyone to stop talking for five minutes.
My debut book, I Love You, But F*ck Off, was born from years of lived experience, late-night overthinking, cold cups of coffee, and the realisation that so many mums are carrying far more than they let on.
Through humour, vulnerability, and a healthy dose of sarcasm, I hope my writing helps women feel seen, understood, and a little less alone in the chaos.
When I'm not writing, you'll usually find me creating for my small business, Glimmers of Whimsy, drinking coffee that's gone cold (again), trying to remember where I put my keys, or wondering who ate the snacks I specifically bought for myself.
I live in Mount Gambier, South Australia, with my husband Jamie, our five children, 2 cats and our dog. This is my life and the beautiful chaos that inspires most of what I write.
Because sometimes the most honest thing a mother can say is:
"I love you... but FUCK off."
