Summary

Forever Outnumbered: A Dad’s Hilarious Take on Modern Family Life

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.

About The Author

Simon Hooper

Simon Hooper works as a management consultant for 40% of the day and is a father to his 4 daughters for 100% of the day. Being a parent isn’t something you can turn off; even at work, there are emails about gymnastic classes, lunch fees, smart TVs, and other parental admin.

Simon commits another 40% of the day to social media, engaging with his hundreds of thousands of followers about real-life parenting challenges, while still working 40% of the day as a management consultant. He also spends 20% of the time clearing up and doing DIY jobs, while being a dad 100% of the time. That’s 200% of the time doing something, which explains why he hasn’t slept for 10 years and has a forehead covered in lines.

With the small sliver of remaining time, Simon likes to spend time on ‘secret projects’ in the shed (no one has seen any results) and cycles - basically things that give him time on his own, a brief reprieve from a life surrounded and outnumbered by girls.
