Download Nobody Told Me: Poetry and Parenthood AudioBook Free
There were a lot of things that Hollie McNish didn't know before she was pregnant. How her family and friends would react; that Mr Whippy would be off the menu; how quickly ice can melt on the stomach. We were holding together with the many other activities she didn't know about newborns: how to stand while holding one; how to do a poetry gig with your baby as a member of the audience; how drum'n'bass can make a great lullaby. And that is before you even start small children: how to answer a question like 'is the earth a jigsaw?'; dealing with a 10-hour coach ride together; and exactly how children can be caregivers, too. But Hollie discovered. And she's still learning, slowly and gradually. Nobody Advised Me is a assortment of poems and testimonies taken from Hollie's diaries - one person's thoughts on raising a kid in modern Britain, on attempting to become a father or mother in modern Britain, on making love, commercialism, feeding, gender and finding secret places to scream once in a while.
