Parenting Hell: The funniest gift you can give this Father’s Day

Product Information

But these guys talk about coming home from a job tired only to have an excited toddler jumping around all evening in such a relatable way. Zeer goed audioboek, veel te vaak veel te herkenbaar. Zeker het stuk waarin Rob vertelt over hun prille ouderschap met een baby die niet wil drinken en Josh over blij zijn als je eindelijk eens 2u aan een stuk kan slapen. Manlief en ik luisterden er samen naar, vooral ‘s avonds voor het slapengaan. Blijkt dat de herkenbaarheid, de humor, relativeren en lachen met je vroegere zelf omdat we ook “die ouders” geweest zijn een perfecte manier is om zomervakantiedagen af te sluiten. THE MADNESS, ABSURDITY, AND UTTER CHAOS OF BEING A PARENT FROM THE HOSTS OF THE NO.1 SMASH HIT PODCAST. Being a parent is the most amazing thing, though it's nice to be able to joke about all the little bumps along the way.

It tells the story of the end of an era, the last time when watching television was a shared experience for the family and the nation, before the internet meant everyone watched different things at different times on different devices, headphones on to make absolutely sure no one else could watch it with them. It probably is quite amusing for a 20-something gal who wants to be childless forever to be so entertained and attached to a podcast (and subsequent book) about parenting. Now we have been given a book deal it is probably the time for me to admit to myself that complaining for an hour a week to Rob about my life has become the most successful thing I have done in 14 years in comedy. I can only imagine how much people will love it now they can read our moaning in book form rather than having to hear it coming from our annoying accents.Love it, just like the podcast. I literally couldn't put it down and my kids are long long past the preschool stage. It's just so relatable - I don't even particularly like other people's kids and I think this is why this works. It's just like listening to J and R on the podcast, as if they're in the room with you. The book Parenting Hellsees Josh and Rob share the challenges and madness of their parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs. Filled with all the things they never tell you at antenatal classes, it’s a charming mixture of humour, rumination and conversation and is aimed at prospective parents, new parents, old parents and never-to-be parents alike. I love Rob and Josh, I listen to the podcast obsessively so the book was perfect for a fan like me! We had chapters from Rob and Josh in a conversational style, from their wives Lou and Rose, their parents and even their producer Michael!

This Has to be the audiobook. I’m a huge Parenting Hell podcast fan. I’ve heard every episode and watched it live in April. It’s an absolute treat for the ears via audiobook. I have no doubt the actual book would be fantastic however the audiobook is the only true way to experience this I feel. Every parent or parent-to-be or parent-adjacent needs to read this! It's also surprisingly empowering for women - the way they include the wives perspectives is beautiful' I’m not sure I would have enjoyed the read as much had I been reading the book myself, and would have given it a 3 star rating. As mentioned, I'm a HUGE fan of the podcast. I love the honesty about the difficultly of parenting and keeping your entire life together as well as sharing the exciting and wholesome moments. Join Josh and Rob as they share the challenges and madness of their parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs. Filled with all the things they never tell you at antenatal classes, Parenting Hell is a beguiling mixture of humour, rumination and conversation for prospective parents, new parents, old parents and never-to-be parents alike.

The comedic duo perfectly captured the thoughts and feelings of how life altering it really is when becoming a Dad, in this really refreshingly honest way. Using a different television show of the time as its starting point for each chapter Watching Neighbours Twice a Day… is part-childhood memoir, part-comic history of 90s television and culture. It will discuss everything from the BBC convincing him that Michael Parkinson had been possessed by a ghost, to Josh’s belief that Mr Blobby is one of the great comic characters, to what it’s like being the only vegetarian child west of Bristol.
