Lockdown Parenting Fails

A hilarious compendium of the best/worst homeschooling horrors, baking balls-ups and midday margaritas.

Me: Nap time.
Toddler: I not tired.
Me: It's not about you.

Did your attempt at emergency hairdressing only make your child look worse than before?

Did your important Zoom work calls get interrupted by screams of 'Mummy's boring!'?

Did your rainbow cupcakes come out an ungodly shade of brown?

Then you were probably one of many parents who tried your hardest parenting during lockdown and so now deserve a f*cking medal (or a case of gin).

Featuring entries from fellow survivors on the horrors of homeschooling, the gigantic nightmares that can happen in small kitchens, the fallibility of trying to keep your job, the inevitability of putting on weight and the joys of considering what you did to make the world punish you so...
