Lessons From a Default Parent

Lou Beckett

£10.99


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.
