Not a weird box of detergent, but a panicked beige lesbian desperately googling, 'Will my babies love me?' at 3 a.m. A very funny, very honest look at parenting life, from IVF awfulness to crying over the pages of sleep training manuals.
I''m Jen Brister: stand-up comedian, middle-aged adolescent, and mum. But not that mum - I''m the other one.
''Hysterical, important, moving, wonderful'' Sara Pascoe
Confused? Two years ago, my partner (a woman - we''re not solicitors) gave birth to twins. (I know! Believe me, I''m still reeling myself.) Like every new parent, I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. Add ''gay'' and ''non-biological'' to the mix and what do you get? Not a weird box of detergent, but a panicked beige lesbian desperately googling, ''Will my babies love me?'' at 3 a.m.
A very funny, very honest look at parenting life, from IVF awfulness to crying over the pages of sleep training manuals. A perfect gift for any parent who feels they don''t fit the mould of a traditional family.
