The official We Do Not Care Club handbook - Melani Sanders

Welcome to the We Do Not Care Club: where the bras are optional, the chin hairs are thriving, and the menopause meltdown is mutual.

Do you wake up with night sweats at 3:26 am, overstimulated, furious at anything breathing (including yourself), wondering how you're going to get through the next day without losing it at your kids/partner/co-workers?

If you wish everyone would leave you alone, no longer care about bras that fit, clothes with buttons (elastic forever, baby), or cellulite anywhere then welcome to the We Do Not Care (WDNC) Club. You're now a card-carrying member with an exclusive invite to the biggest hormonal party in town.

This Club is for anyone in perimenopause and menopause who are over it. Here is a list of things We Do Not Care about:

• Shaved legs.
• Half-painted big toenails.
• Unplucked chin hair.
• Wearing the same bra all week. Or wearing bras - full stop.
• Wearing PJs all day. At least we have something on.
• Being on time. Be happy that I showed up.
• People who think we have a sh*tty attitude. That's on them.
• Cancelled plans. We didn't want to go anywhere anyway.
• What's for dinner. If you're hungry, do something about it yourself.
• If you're cold - don't even think about touching the air conditioning.

Melani Sanders, Founding Member of the We Do Not Care Club, is here to tell you that it's ok - in fact welcomed - not to care. You're not alone. We are all in the same boat, just out here trying to survive.

This book is your life raft, girls. Let's hold on for dear life - and get through this together.
