While you wouldn’t trade it for the world, the real truth is that often the mundane tasks of being a parent suck.
No matter if you read all the books, took all your mother-in-law’s advice and watched every episode of 7th Heaven – odds are you’ll still feel unprepared for some challenges that get thrown at you.
Perhaps that’s why one British couple is winning the internet with their very candid stories about what parenthood is really like.
With four daughters between them Simon and Clemmie Hooper are the Instagrammers who’ve used their stressful (and funny) life being surrounded by a tribe of little women to win over half a million fans with posts on their @father_of_daughters and mother_of_daughters social accounts.
From the battles of trying to go to the toilet without kids crawling all over them to spending their Friday night’s delousing their primary schooler’s hair, these two have an irreverent approach to most parenting problems – and the results are hilarious!
