Now I’m not lucky enough to have kids (or maybe I am lucky 😂) however I related to this on sooo many levels 😂 I helped raise my now 16 year old brother with my mum (single mum) I’m now 31 and we both still go halfsies. I’m the mum she’s the dad 😂 Honestly loved this so much and I didn’t even realise it was written by one of my favourite tiktokers even though the dialogue and everything had me saying repeatedly ‘haha she sounds just like mammy banter!’ 😂 Whether you’re a mum, an auntie , a bestie to someone with kids or a big sister who’s shared the load you’ll absolutely crease at this! Even if you’ve no kids in your life you can laugh at the absolute chaos of it all! Also a fab explanation of how we as women try so damn hard to fit in & be the best for everyone else but can often lose ourselves in the process whether it’s at work, at home or in school. I subconsciously knew I’d love this so I’d already bought the follow on which is a Christmassy one & of course I’m gonna crack it open at the beginning of spooky season! Could easily read this again & chuckle some more 😀
