I am Jen Brister, a stand-up comedian, a middle-aged adolescent, and a mother. However, I am not your typical mother. I am the other one.
My partner, a woman, gave birth to twins two years ago, and like any new parent, I was completely clueless about what to do. Adding the fact that I am gay and not biologically related to the mix only made things more complicated. At 3 a.m., I found myself frantically googling, "Will my babies love me?"
This book offers a hysterical, important, moving, and wonderful perspective on parenting life, covering everything from the awfulness of IVF to crying over sleep training manuals. It is a perfect gift for any parent who feels like they don't fit the traditional family mold.
The pages of this book are brimming with rich and wonderful proof of the joys and challenges of same-sex parenting. Authors such as Hannah Gadsby, Sara Pascoe, and Damned Funny have praised it for its side-splittingly honest look at the grim realities of same-sex parenting.
