But not \u003ci\u003ethat \u003c\/i\u003emum – I''m the other one. Confused? Let’s back up a bit.  Two years ago, my partner (a woman – we''re not solicitors) gave birth to  twins. Yes. Yes. Already there’s a lot to take in here: gay mums, twins,  solicitors… (I know! Believe me, I’m still reeling myself.)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eLike every new  parent, I had absolutely no clue what I was doing. Add ‘gay’ and ‘non-biological’ to the mix and what do you get? Not a weird box of detergent, but  a panicked beige lesbian desperately googling, ‘Will my babies love me?’ at  3 a.m.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThis is a book for any parent who feels they don’t fit the mould of a traditional 2.4 family. Stand-up comedian Jen Brister takes a very funny, very honest look at life as a parent: from IVF awfulness to crying over the pages of sleep training manuals.                   As ‘the other mother’ she has the perfect vantage point for us to laugh and cry alongside her. \u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MediaPlace","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57315361489278,"sku":"NW9781784709747","price":10.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0817\/1379\/1261\/files\/9781784709747.jpg?v=1778712258","url":"https:\/\/mediaplace.com\/products\/other-mother-1","provider":"MediaPlace","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
