Tired and Tested

The Wild Ride Into Parenthood

By: Sophie McCartney

Welcome to the jungle…

When you’ve grown up thinking your twenties are all about working hard, playing hard and trying not to get pregnant, life comes at you fast when you go from hump to bump.

So you thought adulthood would mean a high-flying career and a luxury lifestyle, but instead have ended up with a Lycra-based wardrobe and a deep fear of what lies at the bottom of the ball-pit in soft play?

Join comedian Sophie McCartney as she voyages deep into the uncharted territories of mating, birthing, feral offspring, mums overdoing it at the watering hole, and the perilous viper’s nest of the school WhatsApp group.

With laugh out loud humour and eye-watering honesty, Sophie shows how whether you’ve had a day full of whining or a night full of wine, there’s joy to be had in the perfectly imperfect wild ride into parenthood.

Best and Funnies Book Ever

Thank you Sophie for writing this book and even better for doing the Audio as i live in South Africa so could not get the actual book which I still want for my book shelf.

I have laughed and cried and laughed again while listening to you and your story.

I am a Mother of 2 BOYS ... 5 year old and a 16 year old and I can relate - Moms are Super Women, Each chapter was brilliant.

Thank you and Congrats Again 👏

LOVE, LOVE, LOVE!

What can I say…I love all things Sophie! So glad this book is here and absolutely loved reading it! Can’t wait for book 2!
