Please Understand Me

This book uses Dr. John Gray's metaphor of men being from Mars and women from Venus to explore the often humorous yet sometimes stressful dynamics of parenthood. From conception to childrearing, this witty and light-hearted compendium dives into the differences in parenting ideologies between men (Martians) and women (Venetians).
The book highlights how an 'alpha mum' with high expectations of motherhood can amplify these differences, especially when emotions are processed differently between genders. Drawing on personal experiences and observations of other couples, Beamon presents a dad's perspective, offering insight into how fathers attempt to live up to their partners' expectations while keeping a smile through the challenging moments every parent will recognise.
Whether managing through empathy or a lighter touch, this book offers relatable laughs and reflections on the universal journey of raising a child.
