Product Information
This is a book for any parent who feels they don't fit the mould of a perfect family. 'Hysterical, important, moving, wonderful' Sara PascoeI'm Jen Brister, stand-up comedian, middle-aged adolescent and, more recently, a mum. But not that mum - I'm the other one. Confused? Let's back up a bit. Two years ago, my partner (a woman - we're not solicitors) gave birth to twins. Yes. Yes. Already there's a lot to take in here- gay mums, twins, solicitors. (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. This is a book for any parent who feels they don't fit the mould of a traditional 2.4 family. Stand-up comedian Jen Brister takes a very funny, very honest look at life as a parent- from IVF awfulness to crying over the pages of sleep training manuals. As 'the other mother' she has the perfect vantage point for us to laugh and cry alongside her.Product Identifiers

twin truth plus gleeful laughs
This book is magnificently funny yet truthful. Relatable , witty yet honest, I think it should be recommended as mandatory reading for any parent or friend of multiples (twins,triplets etc). Jen Brister is a superb comic and her book is able to convey humour in what is often a horrendous introduction to parent-of-twin life. (I'm speaking from the perspective of being a solo parent of twins myself!) I wish I knew the author but the book makes you feel like if you did know her, you'd enjoy a coffee/sarcastic eye roll and then laugh together.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
