Did your home haircut make your child look like Friar Tuck?

Did you forget to put bananas in your banana bread?

Did your primary-schooler have to correct your times tables?

Then you were probably one of many people trying your f*cking hardest to parent during lockdown, and so now deserve a medal (or a case of gin).

Featuring entries from fellow survivors on the horrors of homeschooling, the nightmares of kitchen experiments, the fallibility of trying to keep your colleagues' respect, the inevitability of putting on all the weight and the joys of considering what you did to make the world punish you so...

...Lockdown Parenting Fails is a hilarious (and trauma-inducing) collection of the best memories from the worst time in everyone's lives.
