The Unpaid Intern's Guide to Parenthood: More Than Just Hugs and Hiccups

Synopsis

Ever feel like you're juggling a Fortune 500 company while simultaneously being the sole employee, and your only performance review comes in the form of a toddler's tantrum? Welcome to the world of 'The Unpaid Intern's Guide to Parenthood: More Than Just Hugs and Hiccups.' This book hilariously dissects the unvarnished reality of parenting, moving beyond the idealized images to reveal the immense, often invisible, labor involved. Kristie Blackburn plunges into the trenches, detailing the relentless cycles of laundry, the Herculean efforts of meal prep, the emotional heavy lifting that would challenge a seasoned therapist, and the sheer logistical wizardry required for the simplest of outings. It’s a heartfelt acknowledgment of the parents who perform the unglamorous, demanding work, recognizing that while 'love' is central, the 'labor' deserves its due respect and perhaps even a virtual promotion.
