Summary
This is the story of my journey into parenthood, from being a 24-year-old man-child with no idea of what being a dad involved to where I find myself today: the single male representative in a household of five women, or, in other words, outnumbered. Our house is now known as 'the place where silence came to die'. It's also where you'll find carpets that are made up of 50 percent glitter and where there are more pink stuffed animals than at a colour-blind taxidermy specialist's. But I wouldn't change a thing. These people are my life.
Real-life parenting through the eyes of a modern-day dad by Simon Hooper, aka Instagram's Father of Daughters.
From uninitiated parents-to-be to those who know the ropes in families large or small, everyone will find something to relate to in Simon's hilarious and chaotic tales of his own home life. His observations of being a father have delighted his hundreds of thousands of followers on Instagram: before now dads are often the forgotten ones who carry the luggage, open stiff jars, take photos on holiday, fix broken bikes, go back to work, do the night feeds and make a mean beans on toast with melted cheese without so much as a pat on the back. All too often dads shrink into the background. But not in this audiobook.
Forever Outnumbered is an incredibly funny yet emotionally heartfelt ode to modern family life.

Excellent "non-parenting" Book
Excellent book and perfectly read by Simon. I follow Simon on Instagram and his day to day life always makes me laugh.
This isn't a book about parenting, but more about his experiences of parenting and tales of the crazy times.

Brilliant truth behind the parenting of multiply kids
Absolutely brilliant book for parents of any number of children but from a Mother whom has 5 children I listened to this like he was reading my life a loud. Such a beautifully written true story of how a family with a tribe of children really is - they are your world and it’s clearly heard when listening to this. Please write another.
P.s My Husbands stuff also gets sent to the shed or loft.
Just so you know - I think both you and Clemmie are doing a smashing job and you should be very proud of the Parents you are....even when your late for the school run.
For anyone debating reading this like I was...Please go for it - you won’t regret it.

Thoroughly enjoyed
I’ve had a great time on the train/walking to work trying to stop myself looking like a lunatic while laughing at the stories in this book.
It’s helped days where I’ve not had enough sleep or stressed from a hard day’s work and made me feel like I’m not alone in the tough parenting world.
Thank you!

Loved this book
I never write reviews...but had to with this book. This book is very honest in a humerist way. I know it is written from a father's point of view but as me being a mother can relate with so much with what Simon Hooper wrote about.
Really this book is about real family life; through good, bad, funny and "I can't believe this just happened" moments but as parents we won't have it any other way.
If you have kids, you can relate. If your thinking about have kids, it might make you think twice.

Great listen
My husband and I have been listening to the book together, as we’re soon to be first time parents. Simon has put so much into perspective for us and we’ve been hooked with admiration at his bluntness of life and love for his girls.
I would recommend this to any new parents and anyone interested in a bit of escapism from their own life!
