Kurzbeschreibung des Verlags

THE SUNDAY TIMES BESTSELLER - What nobody tells you about parenthood, from one 'silent partner' behind the Parenting Hell podcast.With a brand-new chapter charting the uprising of default parents everywhere!----------'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----------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.
