We Are Family

The Definitive Guide For Couples Expecting A Baby

  • An illustrated, charming gift book with practical tips 
  • For parents on the verge of a nervous breakdown
  • Topics: equal parenting, mental load, maintaining a relationship while parenting

The ultimate roadmap for transitioning from a couple to a family - with charming illustrations and a necessary dose of humour.

When couples have a child, they face many challenges: they want to be good parents, loving partners, maintain equal footing in their careers, and not lose themselves in the process. But then the baby arrives – and chaos, sleep deprivation and, at times, feeling overwhelmed by everything enter the picture. Because new parents are constantly faced with the same questions: How do we all get enough sleep? How do we share time, money and tasks fairly and equally? How do we remain a couple whilst becoming parents – and where, pray tell, do we actually fit in?
