About this listen

The madness, absurdity, and utter chaos of being a parent from the hosts of the no.1 smash hit podcast.

Read, improvised and embellished by Rob and Josh, with special guest appearances by their wives Rose and Lou, podcast producer Michael and Rob's parents Sue and Dave.

What's it really like to be a parent? And how come no one ever warned Rob or Josh of the sheer mind-bending, world-altering, sleep-depriving, sick-covering, tear-inducing, snot-wiping, bore-inspiring, 4am-relationship-straining brutality of it all? And if they did, why can't they remember it (or remember anything else, for that matter)?

And just when they thought it couldn't get any harder, why didn't anyone warn them about the slices of unmatched euphoric joy and pride that occasionally come piercing through, drenching you in unbridled happiness in much the same way a badly burped baby drenches you in milk-sick?

Join Josh and Rob as they share the challenges and madness of their parenting journeys with lashings of empathy and extra helpings of laughs. Filled with all the things they never tell you at antenatal classes, Parenting Hell is a beguiling mixture of humour, rumination and conversation for prospective parents, new parents, old parents and never-to-be parents alike.

Love these guys

Absolutely love these guys! I live abroad now and listening to them during my commute to work makes me feel at home.
I don’t have children but it’s a great insight into what my friends and family are dealing with and they are always so funny and relatable

Just listen you won’t regret it

One of the funniest books I’ve listened to ever. I’m a huge fan of the podcast, have bought the physical book also but literally had to download Audible as I couldn’t imagine not hearing it with those 2 narrating. Lou and Rose were hilarious and charming as were both set of parents and of course Michael. 5 million stars from Virginia ( state not name) USA.

Wonderful

First time I’ve ever listened to an audiobook and I’ve absolutely enjoyed it. I love Rob and Josh’s podcast (it’s the only one I listen to every week the moment it comes out) so of course I had to check out their book. Every moment was funny, sweet or haunting and it was a joy to hear from Rose, Lou, the parents, and even sexy voice Michael. 5/5 will listen to again and again.

Nailed It

Love the pod, love the lads. They absolutely nailed it again with their book. Any parent can relate to the chaos and joy and find some solace in the fact we’re all just making it up as we go.

Can’t recommend it enough!

Didn’t want it to end ! Five stars

I loved this audio book . I’ve listened to all of the podcasts to date and wondered if the book could be any better/different and ‘ I’ll be honest with you ‘ it was brilliant ! I particularly loved the input from the parents , wives and Utahs finest import . Can’t wait for the middle years , heading to high school and so on . Bravo !

As good as the podcast

I have listened to every episode and the book added to the hours I’ve laughed listening. And nice to get their spouses view also.
