The Story

'Funny, reflective and honest. 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.
