Moany Dad

The story centres around Jessica, who moves to the UAE with her mum, brother Josh, and their perpetually complaining father. Initially excited about escaping the dreary British weather, Jessica’s dad soon becomes a constant source of frustration due to his incessant whining about the heat, traffic, and various other discomforts in their new environment. His negative outlook earns him the nickname “moany dad,” much to the family’s dismay. Through humor and relatable family dynamics, the narrative illustrates how different members of a family cope with significant changes and the importance of support and understanding. Nicola’s storytelling sheds light on the complexities of relocating to a new country and finding joy in unexpected places.
