Reading this book is like sitting down with your bestie for a proper mumlife debrief' - Giovanna Fletcher`More demanding than `hell', this is parenting purgatory for authentic women who've put their lives on hold to be mummy' - Katherine Ryan`A brilliant, comforting and funny read for any default parent' - Ellie Taylor___What nobody tells you about parenthood, from one of the `silent partners' behind the Parenting Hell podcast.   School-run coordinator, party planner, clubs organiser, laundry sorter. and maybe even a `real' job on top! Sound exhaustingly familiar? From assumptions surrounding who is going to stay at home with the kids to the never-ending list of school admin, being `the default parent' rears its head in a plethora of ways.   This book is for all the defaults out there - bored out of their eyeballs or so overwhelmed they could scream expletives into the wind for a solid hour - to know their invisible labour is seen and valued.   With heartfelt and hilarious advice, Lou Beckett provides much-needed comfort and community for the one who is depended on the most (and often feels appreciated the least), and maybe - just maybe - how we can begin to rebalance the parenting scales and muddle through a little better, together.\u003cbr\u003eBinding: Hardback","brand":"Gardners","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56367884108149,"sku":"9780241762912","price":18.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0612\/7193\/3106\/files\/9780241762912.jpg?v=1763548182","url":"https:\/\/backstory.london\/products\/9780241762912","provider":"Backstory","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
