Sh*t on My Hands: A Down and Dirty Companion to Early Parenthood - Hardcover

'Upside of being a parent: pure love. Downside: sh*t on my hands.' So says Bunny Banyai, one of the two authors of this pithy commentary on the twists and turns of parenting under-twos. Blunt, humorous and heartfelt in equal measures, Sh*t on My Hands speaks to everyone heading down the baby-raising road. While there are many parenting books and manuals out there, few offer relief for sleep-deprived parents who feel as if they're getting it all wrong. Broken into chapters for each few months of a baby's life, the book takes on everything from bathing, diaper changing and endless feeding, to single parenting and staying sane. With many belly laughs along the way, it will leave every parent with a smile on their face - even though there's nothing we can do about the sh*t on your hands.

Bunny Banyai and Madeleine Hamilton know all about the realities of parenting. Bunny is a copywriter who lives with her two daughters, her stepdaughter and a partner more adept than most at ponytails and plaits. Madeleine is a part-time historian, part-time writer and full-time mother of three. Together they form a dynamic duo, taking all the love and frustration that comes with motherhood, and turning it into witty and practical advice for the modern-day parent.
