Description

You thought you'd stay calm.
You promised yourself you'd be patient.
You imagined gentle parenting with soft voices, deep breaths, and emotionally regulated responses.

Then reality happened.

I Was Supposed to Be Calm, Gentle, and Patient. Then Reality Happened. is a funny, honest, and deeply relatable look at modern parenting-the exhaustion, overstimulation, guilt, chaos, and love that no one fully prepares you for.

Through humour, sarcasm, and emotional reflection, this book captures the everyday moments parents silently struggle through:

losing patience and feeling guilty after
surviving tantrums and bedtime battles
trying to gentle parent while emotionally overwhelmed
feeling touched out, overstimulated, and exhausted
loving your child deeply while still struggling some days
This isn't a perfect parenting guide.

It's reassurance for parents who are already in the middle of the mess, trying their best.

If you've ever felt overwhelmed and still kept showing up-this book is for you.
