The Aargh to Zzzz of Parenting

An Alternative Guide



A must have for all mums and dads - at last, a laugh-out-loud book about the darker moments of parenthood.

'Probably the best parenting book I have read' - Amazon ***** review


This brilliantly alternative A - Z of parenting is essential reading for all mums and dads who 'really love their kids, but...'

A is for Anxiety, Alcohol and awful Activities.

B is for Bedtime, Baking and Boredom.

C is for Childcare and Cooking With Your Coat on.

The Aargh to Zzzz of Parenting puts two fingers up to the idea that motherhood is the most rewarding experience a woman can have. Taking a laugh-out-loud look at life with young children, it taps into the very normal, but hard-to-admit frustrations that many parents feel.
