Becoming a parent is one, if not the most magical moment in your life. From the elation of seeing your gorgeous bundle for the first time to bringing them home to formally introduce into your world - it's all a bit of a wonderful, emotional blur. Then the reality of becoming new parents begins and all of the things that people never warn you about from the sleep deprivation to clearing up an endless amount of sick, the joy of their first cold, and the bore-inspiring TV that you are subjected to, become part of your life!
And the amongst all of the madness there are moments of unmatched joy and pride at things you would never have imagined - like getting them to eat solids for the first after months of having it quite literally spat back in your face. Parenting Hell by Rob Beckett and Josh Widdicombe is packed full of humour, empathy, and laughs from two dads overwhelmed by their own families.
I love these guys, so when my library had the audiobook, I knew I had to read it (well, listen to it).
Josh and Rob are hilarious as usual, and there were so many times I laughed out loud listening to their hilarious anecdotes about family life and raising children. So much of it is relatable and on the mark, and I totally got it when they said it was hard work having 2 so close together… 10 ½ months between my two!
If you liked their podcast I’m sure you’ll love this. There are interviews with Rob and Josh’s wives and parents, which I thought were great, especially since Rob and Josh were asking the questions. I don’t know what else to say apart from just listen to it, it’s ridiculously funny. The banter these guys have is brilliant.
