You’ve created a human alarm clock without a snooze button!

Welcome to the life-upending, sleep-thieving, crazy old business known as parenthood. The hours are long and the pay is non-existent, but the rewards are priceless. They better be.

You’re in for quite a ride, but this hilarious gift book is here to tell it like it is, respect the struggle and help you see the funny side. A blend of real talk, hard-won wisdom and relatable observations, this is the perfect antidote to all those well-meaning myths about the unbelievable journey that you and your little one have just begun.

The realizations that are going to dawn on you pretty fast include:

• Just think, in a couple of years that little angel will be calling you a poo-head.
• Despite all the boundaries you set, sometimes you are going to have to let the baby win.
• Your biggest daily achievement is now getting another human to burp.

This is the perfect gift for anyone with a new baby and a sense of humour.
