Time to Play

Apocalypse Parenting starts slow and low-stakes. The power goes out and there's a bunch of aggressive rodents in the yard. I promise it picks up. The anxiety ramps up slowly but steadily throughout the book.

Meghan is home with her three kids, aged 9, 6, and 3. Her husband was on a business trip when everything started so she has to figure this out on her own and hopefully with neighbors she barely knows. Apocalypse Parenting feels like an exercise in “How would YOU survive the system apocalypse?” Childrens toys are repurposed and barely-remembered facts from television shows are used to survive. I'm not sure readers outside North America will find it very relatable.
