‘Mom Vs. Dad’ Is The Perfect Book To Settle All The Arguments You Pretend You Don’t Have With Your Spouse
Any married couple who tells you that they never fight or bicker either hasn't been married for long, or they're liars. Every couple argues, especially about the funny, little things that actually don't matter. You've tried to explain to your husband that it's not polite to lick his plate clean in a restaurant, and he's eternally concerned about your habit of leaving food in the fridge a little past the expiration date.
These arguments are bound to happen, and it's nice to know you aren't the only couple having those debates. That's where Mom vs. Dad: The Not-So-Serious Guide to the Stuff We're All Fighting About comes in to settle your debates.
The Happy Couple Behind The Bickering
Your parenting style might differ from your partner's, but you're working towards the same goal: to raise happy, healthy children. Fellow married couple and parents Tom and Lucy Riles—known on Instagram as @lifeofdad and @lifeofmom—have written the book Mom vs. Dad: The Not-So-Serious Guide to the Stuff We're All Fighting About so parents know they're not the only ones who fight about how to load the dishwasher.
It's Like Having A Neutral Third Party For Every Issue
The Not-So-Serious Guide is packed with personal essays and funny anecdotes from Tom and Lucy (who have four children and two dogs in their household). For example, the book covers topics like "How Much Is Too Much Visiting With Relatives?" so someone else can tell you that yes, making your husband spend every Friday night with your extended family is too much family time.
Settle The Arguments For Good
The Mom vs. Dad guide can also help you settle the age-old debates on issues like "Toilet Paper: Over or Under?" and "Should Dad Get Rid of His Cargo Shorts?" This book is meant to be a fun way for you to broach topics with your spouse (plus a few that could involve the kids), and finally settle the debate about whether Mom or Dad is in control of the thermostat.
