The Story Behind ‘Til Death Do We Parent
Jess Hilarious saw a gap in the market for co-parenting resources written with humor and real-life wisdom. She co-authored the memoir with her ex and 14-year-old son Ashton’s father, Gerome (Rome), creating a refreshing perspective that goes beyond the typical parenting guide. The book explores their journey from dysfunction to respect and accountability.
What makes this book special is its two-perspective narrative. Rather than telling only her side, Jess included Rome’s voice throughout, showing her commitment to presenting a balanced story. She told Essence, “I didn’t want to be selfish. Ash has both his parents. I had to include Rome, too. He did his dirt and stuff, but I did mine as well. I take accountability.”
Key Themes and Insights from the Memoir
The 284-page hardcover book tackles difficult subjects including infidelity, blended families, setting boundaries, and prioritizing children. Jess addresses the “sneaking and freaking” phenomenon where co-parents continue physical relationships, confusing children. She also shares her personal journey of learning to date responsibly as a single mother.
| Topic | Key Message |
| Co-parenting Boundaries | Setting healthy limits with your ex to protect the family unit |
| Dating as a Parent | Vetting new partners and prioritizing your child’s wellbeing first |
| Accountability | Taking responsibility for your role in past relationship dysfunction |
| Lifelong Parenting | Your relationship with your child extends far beyond age 18 or 21 |
Jess revealed that she learned hard lessons about dating with children. She shared with Essence how one boyfriend left her baby alone for 5 to 6 hours, a wake-up call that changed her approach entirely. She now advocates for deep vetting of potential partners, asking about their own childhood, family relationships, and emotional maturity.
“I didn’t always get it right. I found myself dating selfishly. I didn’t realize it until one of the guys I was dating left my baby at home for 5 or 6 hours. That’s in the book as well. When you had that baby and you moved on from their father, now you have to carefully approach the dating process.”
