‘Hysterical, important, moving, wonderful’ Sara Pascoe

I’m Jen Brister, stand-up comedian, middle-aged adolescent and, recently, a mum. But not that mum – I’m the other one. Puzzled? Let’s back up a bit. 2 yrs ago, my partner (a female – we’re not really solicitors) gave delivery to twins. Yes. Yes. Currently there’s too much to take in right here: homosexual mums, twins, lawyers… (I understand! Trust me, I’m still reeling myself.)

Like every new parent, I had absolutely no clue about The Other Mom: A wickedly honest parenting tale for each kind of family what I was doing. Add ‘gay’ and ‘nonbiological’ to the blend and what perform you get? Not a weird box of detergent, but a panicked beige lesbian desperately googling, ‘Will my babies like me?’ at 3 a.m.

That is a publication for any mother or father who feels they don’t match the mould of a normal 2.4 family. Stand-up comedian Jen Brister requires a extremely funny, very honest look at existence as a parent: from IVF awfulness to crying over the webpages of sleep teaching guides. As ‘the additional mother’ she’s the perfect vantage point for all of us to laugh and cry alongside her.
