I'm Jen Brister, stand-up comedian, middle-aged adolescent and, more recently, a mum. But not that mum – I'm the other one. Confused? Let’s back up a bit. Two years ago, my partner (a woman – we're 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.)
Like 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.
This 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.

"Hysterical, important, moving, wonderful." (Sara Pascoe)
The honest, real truth about navigating the physical and psychological decision and transition to becoming a parent. Read by the author - who better to tell her own story!
Anyone with small children will feel so heard and understood. Anyone wanting kids will get a look behind the scenes. And everyone should read or listen to it to gain some understanding and empathy for what parents go through, and most importantly realize that every family constellation goes through the same sh*t!
Jen Brister is awesome. Only one short repeat in the last chapter that got missed in editing, otherwise perfect and thoroughly hilarious!
I feel so heard!!
