"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 BESTSELLING audiobook 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.
With exclusive audio content with her other half, Rob Beckett!
Read by the author, Lou Beckett, who is a mother of two, ex-secondary school teacher, and wife to Rob Beckett. The (mostly) silent participant of the incredibly successful Parenting Hell podcast (spoken about, not to, except for the occasional 'right to reply' episodes), she can speak about the similarly silent issues: default parenting, emotional labour, and managing the mental load of parenthood. Her popular blog post, A Very Long Whinge, prompted many me too moments from parents.
