What nobody tells you about parenthood, from one of the 'silent partners' behind the Parenting Hell podcast. School-run coordinator, party planner, clubs organizer, laundry sorter... and maybe even a 'real' job on top! Sound exhaustingly familiar? From assumptions surrounding who is staying home with the kids to the never-ending list of 'school' admin, being 'the default parent' rears its head in a plethora of ways. So 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 labor is seen, valued and can even sometimes be rebalanced. 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 muddle through a little better, together.
