ISBN: 9781910931967.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eHysterical, important, moving, wonderful Sara Pascoe\nIm Jen Brister, stand-up comedian, middle-aged adolescent and, more recently, a mum. But not that mum – Im the other one. Confused? Let’s back up a bit. Two years ago, my partner (a woman – were 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.)\nLike 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.\nThis 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Square Peg","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44984132862005,"sku":"ByrdShop_1910931969","price":36.26,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9781910931967_d961cdfa-a045-4c26-8fff-0bcccdf1d582.jpg?v=1792766509","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-other-mother-a-wickedly-honest-parenting-tale-for-every-kind-of-family-9781910931967","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
