But amidst the rich always fascinating often hilarious experiences of his times with his two children are dozens and dozens of useful pieces of advice for parents - from developing a great relationship with your ex (if you can) to letting the children pick the clothes they want to wear teaching them to cook and acknowledging that changing a toilet roll is too complex for anyone under the age of eighteen to understand.
