Summary:

Ever found yourself whispering, ‘Oh, fork it’ through gritted teeth while your child floods the bathroom, licks the supermarket floor or orders mystery items on your phone? Then this book is for you.

Welcome to Mother Flipper!, your laugh-out-loud survival guide to parenting without swearing (well … not technically, anyway). Warm, witty and reassuringly honest, Mother Flipper! is the perfect gift for tired mums, frazzled dads and anyone wondering how everyone else is holding it together (spoiler: they’re not). Because sometimes, the only thing standing between you and a full meltdown … is a well-timed ‘mother flipper!’.

Mother Flipper! features hilarious fake swears like 'Sweet Baby Cheeses' 'Cluster Fluff' and 'Son of a Biscuit' for every parenting emergency. Each relatable real-life moment is brought to life with full colour pages that covers everything from bedtime battles and sibling warfare to last-minute school costume disasters and much more besides.

These are the painfully familiar moments – and the perfect PG-rated phrases to get you through them. In this survival guide for everyday chaos, you’ll find translations of what parents really mean, plus tongue-in-cheek corporate jargon for domestic meltdowns, mock reports for tantrums and silly rhymes to make you smile.

The funny parenting survival guide is packed with relatable parenting chaos moment, making it perfect for fans of Hurrah for Gin, Why Mummy Swears and Lessons From a Default Parent. Perfect for Mother's Day, as a funny gift for new parents, or as a gift to yourself as a reminder that you're not the only one winging it.

Sales points:

  • Perfect gift for parents: the tone is down-to-earth, witty and observational – honest and slightly unhinged-inner-monologue in feel, it is reminiscent of Hurrah for Gin, which was a runaway hit.

  • Highly relatable: this is a fun, honest and hilarious situational phrasebook for modern parenting chaos.

  • An everyday survival guide: covering everything from screentime negotiations to parenting meltdowns, school-run politics to domestic disasters and more, this book can be dipped in and out of.

  • More than a swear book: featuring PG swears for everyday parenting chaos, alongside hilarious breakout pages that speak to the everyday struggles of parenting, from corporate speak and fake reports to hilarious rhymes and more.
