À propos de cet audio

 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 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!

Lou Beckett 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.

I really wanted to like this book. But I couldn’t. It was too whiney. We all know parenting is hard but she makes it sound like the priority is finding herself again and that being the default parent is such a horrible lot in life. I was the default parent and I was so thankful to be able to stay at home and have that role. Many can’t afford to and have to work on top of all that.
We all evolve and change after becoming a parent so don’t try to recapture the freedom you had before kids - it will return when they are adults. Accept that parenting should be the priority.
That said, she has a good narration voice.
