Welcome to the Club: 100 Parenting Milestones You Never Saw Coming by Raquel D'Apice is a humor-driven parenting book published by Chronicle Books and centered on the messy, unexpected moments that rarely appear in conventional baby milestone albums. Rather than celebrating polished achievements like first steps or sleeping through the night, it focuses on the less flattering realities of early parenthood, including accidents, embarrassing language, and small domestic disasters that feel strangely universal once they happen. The book pairs short comic observations with distinctive paper-cut illustrations, giving it the feel of a satirical gift book as well as a readable collection of shared parental experiences. Its purpose is not to instruct parents in technique or child development, but to validate the emotional chaos of raising children by making room for laughter, recognition, and relief. In that sense, it sits between humor writing and parenting commentary, using exaggeration and honesty to challenge the idea that good parenting is measured only by tidy, celebratory milestones.
