The Middle Years: When the kids grow up... and everything goes tits down
English
By (author): Liz Fraser
This is not a book about parenting. There are 1.3 billion of those already, and the main thrust is, if possible, try not to be a shit parent.
Instead, this is a book about us. You and me.
The knackered parents, flailing about in the supposedly easier Middle Years, when our babies have sprouted body hair and attitudes, were supposed to be getting our life back at last . . . but everything feels as if its gone a bit tits down.
From puberty to parents evenings, anxiety to A-Levels, divorce to depression, sex to social media, hormones to . . . Jesus, is that chin hair?!
This comprehensive, honest, hilarious and at times heart-breaking rummage through the Rotting Salad Drawer of Midlife that we all go through but nobody tells us about until were already drowning in it, holds your weary hand and offers a giant, life-saving snog of, 'ITS OK. ITS NOT JUST YOU'.
