Are you currently trapped in the parenting trenches, staring down an alligator-rolling toddler with actual human sh*t on your hands, wondering how your life became a 24/7 zombie-casualty horror show? Me too.
When Mum Bum found herself isolated with two babies under two, no money and drowning in the polished fiction of ‘mumfluencer’ culture, she realized something radical: she couldn’t change her circumstances, but she could attempt an attitude transplant. Secretly launching an Instagram account to track her raw, dark and hilariously unfiltered quest to survive, her videos went viral overnight, striking a chord with millions of parents sick of pious advice.
Structured like a witty 12-step recovery programme for a total rewiring of the parenting brain, Nobody Is Coming to Save You (But You Can Do it!) is a brutally honest, comforting and fiercely funny taken on the identity shifts, relationship strains and everyday drudgery of raising tiny humans.
This isn’t an anxiety-inducing guide on how to be a ‘better’ parent; it is a life-raft of solidarity, a permission slip to admit you are struggling and a pragmatic toolkit to help you find self-compassion and laugh off the shame.
MILF meets Matrescence for the FAFO generation.
