Details. Condition: BRAND NEW. Format: Paperback. ISBN: 9781472245038. Publisher: Wildfire. Overview. Man vs. Toddler is Matt Coyne's hilarious follow-up to his Sunday Times bestseller Dummy. Once the newborn fog lifts, parents are promised things get easier — Coyne is here to expose that lie. Charting the chaos of toddlerhood, from meltdowns to messy nappies and soft-play horrors, this memoir combines filthy humour with genuine tenderness. It's the honest, laugh-out-loud parenting book every exhausted mum and dad needs on their shelf.. About the Book. In the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Sunday Times bestseller Dummy, Matt Coyne turns his sharp, self-deprecating wit to the next stage of parenthood: the toddler years. His son Charlie has been transformed from an innocent bundle of joy into a small, unpredictable creature who walks, talks, and — memorably — insists on using a plastic bucket in the middle of the living room rather than an actual toilet. Coyne's writing first found fame through a viral blog post about new fatherhood, and Man vs. Toddler continues that same voice: foul-mouthed, warm, and painfully relatable. He covers tantrums in supermarkets, the peculiar horror of children's soft-play centres, the relentless negotiating over vegetables, and the strange grief of watching a baby become a fully formed little person with opinions. Nothing about toddlerdom is sugar-coated here; Coyne writes about sleepless nights, marriage under pressure, and the sheer exhaustion of modern parenting with total candour. Yet beneath the swearing and the chaos is real affection — for his son, his partner, and the messy, joyful business of raising a small human. Fans of the first book will recognise the same blend of stand-up comedy timing and diary-like honesty, and it makes exhausted parents feel seen.. Hilarious, honest take on the toddler years from a bestselling parenting author. Follow-up to the Sunday Times bestseller Dummy (Man vs Baby). Perfect gift for new an
