Needs Adult Supervision Lessons in Growing Up

Emily Writes has built a massive following by saying the things other parents only think. In Needs Adult Supervision, she tackles the second act of parenthood—the part where the kids are older, but the questions are bigger, and the "adult" in the room is still just her.
Through her trademark wit and vulnerability, Emily explores everything from the exhaustion of the school run to the complexities of friendship, the grief of losing parents, and the overwhelming joy found in the small, quiet moments. This is not a "how-to" guide; it is a "me-too" guide. It’s for anyone who feels like they’re just winging it, anyone who has ever felt lonely in a crowded house, and anyone who needs a reminder that they are doing a great job, even when the house is a mess and the dinner is burnt. It is a warm, funny, and fiercely relatable companion for the journey of growing up—no matter how old you are.
