This Family Life: The ultimate comedy about surviving the first year of parenthood
The ultimate comedy for anyone who is a parent, has a parent, or is thinking about becoming one.
The hilarious and heart warming sequel to the top ten Kindle best seller This Thirtysomething Life. Perfect for fans of Mike Gayle, Matt Dunn and David Nicholls.
Things that might happen during your first year of parenthood:
1. You’ll get covered in a ‘nuclear’ poo. 2. You’ll be convinced your son is talking with a Japanese accent. 3. You’ll worry that when your son waves, it looks like a Nazi salute.
Of course, this might just be Harry Spencer.
Taking up where 'This Thirtysomething Life' left off, Harry Spencer and is wife Emily are back and trying to survive their first year of parenthood. It has its ups and downs (and a few bits in the middle), but along the way they begin to understand the true meaning of family and what it takes to be a parent.
Featuring a hilarious cast of extras including Harry’s father-in-law Derek, who has a unique problem with Scotch, Steve and Fiona, the parents from children’s entertainment hell, and a yoga instructor with a prominent camel-toe, 'This Family Life' is the ultimate comedy for anyone who is a parent, has a parent, or is thinking about becoming one.
