Parenting Hell

By: Rob Beckett, Josh Widdicombe

Narrated by: Rob Beckett, Josh Widdicombe

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

Such joy

Every Tuesday and Friday I look forward to listening to Rob & Josh on their podcast - so I was very excited about the book - I loved every chapter - Loved the insight from family members too. Sarah from Atlanta (how many listeners there do you think?)

could not have loved this more.

loved every part of this. content and performance. already adopted Lou's stickers in bag idea. 🥰

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 !
