Description
Meet best friends Matty and Ash—as much as they love their kids, they're craving a break from parenting so they can enjoy a tasty beverage.
But whatever they do and wherever they go, the children are there, casting a shadow over them and ruining their plans.
With the seemingly never-ending demands of parenthood—whether it is potty training, toddler tantrums, or a troop of monkeys attacking a babysitter (well, of course!)—something always stands in the way of a good time. Put simply, Matty and Ash can't catch a break.
Finally, however, they get what they want... a night out without kids! But where would they rather be?
Inspired by their Two Doting Dads podcast, Matty J and Ash bring you anything but a straightforward "how to parent" guide in this silly, hilarious, and ultimately moving picture book. And beautifully illustrated by Dan Gray-Barnett, this wacky tale can be enjoyed by adults and kids alike.

About the Author
Matthew Johnson, affectionately known as Matty J, rose to fame as the fifth leading man on The Bachelor, where he swept Laura Byrne off her feet. Since finding love in the most unconventional way, they've welcomed two beautiful girls to their growing brood - Marlie-Mae and Lola. These days when he's not busy changing nappies or walking his three-legged dog Buster, you can find Matty entertaining on social media with his hilarious parent-related skits. Content that had him crowned the country's Best Creator on Instagram at the inaugural AiMCO Awards in 2023. Ashton Wicks, or Ash, is a comedic content creator in his early thirties who grew up in Sydney's Northern Beaches. He amassed a cult following on social media from his hilarious videos that poked fun at his wife, April, and their everyday interactions. Ash's approach to parenting his two children, Oscar and Macy, is very relaxed. He doesn't take life too seriously, he's not a stickler for following the rules and, in his own words, is "winging it". When he's not being a doting dad, he can be found yelling at his favourite footy team, Manly Sea Eagles, at the TV or dropping in on other surfers at his local break in Warriewood.
