Mommy hands the gleeful children a bag full of sidewalk chalk and tells the kids to decorate the backyard with a surprise picture for her. Which of course, is actually most of us – though some parenting books would have you believe otherwise.

You adjust the five-point harness of the baby capsule, chattering to your rugged-up infant, so as not to think too much about the probable force and angle this cosy armour is designed to shield against.

There were essays that made me cry, essays that made me snort-giggle, and essays that warmed my heart. Emily, through her own writing and activism, and certainly as the editor of The Spinoff Parents and of this book, has done an enormous amount to normalise conversations about the mental health struggles so many parents deal with.The hosts sharing their shortcomings and challenges is reassuring that nobody has it figured out, but we can always improve. I wonder, is there a difference between holding your child and not knowing it happened, and not holding your child at all?

And the boy ran away laughing and jumped on the couch, leaving a trail of glitter everyfuckingwhere, and sending showers of glitter all through the lounge with every jump. The procedure itself was so minor that it’s hardly worth writing about, except to say that the urologist had the decency to ensure that his hands were warm, there was sport on the television screen on the ceiling (the grown man’s equivalent of the Wiggles), and he even paid me a compliment on the spaciousness of my scrotum.
