Lucy and Tom Riles created massive communities for parents online with Life of Mom and Life of Dad, where they celebrate and support parents worldwide. Lucy and Tom host their own interactive comedy show as well as the popular podcast Mom vs. Dad, where couples call in to discuss topics they bicker over.Lucy and Tom are parents to four children and two dogs. In addition to being a SAHM, Lucy is a writer, creator, and storyteller and competed in season one of Amazon's hit. Tom is a writer and producer, and for 17 years he has been the audience warm-up act for The Ellen DeGeneres Show. When he's not opening for Ellen, Tom is hosting events that raise money for pediatric cardiology charities, something close to Lucy and Tom's heart since their daughter was born with and survived open-heart surgery when she was three days old. On the surface, this couple might be all fun and laughs, but at the core, Lucy and Tom are all heart.
Finally, Tommy and Lucy Riles, have come up with the definitive
rule book concerning parenting. This unintentional sequel to the
groundbreaking book, The Joy of Sex could easily have been called,
The Misery of Kids. In this comprehensive and hilarious contest for
the title of "head of the household", they lay out the terms for
the ultimate battle of Mom vs. Dad. And although I'm still pretty
sure I'm going to lose most, if not every argument with my wife, at
least now I know why. This should be required reading for any
couple who are thinking about having kids.--Jamie Kaler, Actor,
Comic, and Creator of The DadLands,
What a fun and refreshing read this was for my wife and I! Lucy and
Tom bring a relatable sensibility, hilariously covering topics
which ALL OF US bicker about.
"Hey babe, don't touch the laundry that I LAY ON TOP OF THE HAMPER.
I'm not sure whether it's dirty or clean, so please just leave it
alone!"
Sorry about that. I'm back. So yeah, you should totally go buy Mom
vs. Dad, it's like comedy and family therapy all in one!
--Taylor Calmus, creator of Dude Dad, and host of Super Dad on the
Magnolia Network
A true to life, humorous peek of his side/her side that will bring
smiles and laughter to your heart. It confirms what I've always
said, men are strange and women are weird...You'll love it.--Dr.
Kevin Leman, New York Times bestselling author of Sheet Music and

All too often, bickering couples turn molehills into mountains. In
Mom vs Dad, Tom & Lucy Riles prove that the view is better, and
usually funnier, from the molehill. I think this book deserves a
hashtag; #BickerBest--Tom Bergeron, TV Host and Veteran Husband
In Mom vs. Dad, Lucy and Tom Riles bring an entertaining and
conversational approach to exploring the everyday challenges we
face as partners and as parents. There's plenty of heart and humor
in the real-life situations they explore, from sharing meals to
sharing a phone charger. The result is a book that's eminently
relatable, always thought-provoking, and reads like a fun
conversation with friends.--Carrie and John Pacini, Co-Founders,
Mom 2.0 & Dad 2.0
Tommy and Lucy just get it. I've always said, parenting is the
hardest job on the planet, and marriage is the next toughest. These
two have the ability to make you laugh and feel validated at the
same time. Mom vs. Dad is an amazing book that proves parenting is
a contact sport.--Meredith Masony, Founder of That's Inappropriate
and Filter Free Parenting
Tommy and Lucy Riles for sure have a camera set up in our house! We
laughed hysterically at the relatability of each topic. If you're
looking to enjoy a good read with your spouse that includes a
little lighthearted banter, it's Mom vs. Dad.--Chris and Lindsay
Balmert, Team Balmert
Watching Lucy and Tom take the gloves off and bicker with one
another from a place of love and respect is not only endearing, but
HILARIOUS. Every fight or disagreement in this book is something
that my wife and I have locked horns on more than once! Use it for
a good laugh with your partner, topics of discussion over dinner
with other couples or maybe even a way to address that ONE thing
your spouse does that absolutely drives you nuts...Mom vs. Dad
opens the door to achieving marital bliss....maybe.--Adrian Kulp,
Author of Best-Selling 'We're Pregnant! The First-Time Dad's
Pregnancy Handbook & Founder of Award-Nominated parenting blog 'Dad
or Alive'
