NOTES

A fresh, funny guide to modern fatherhood, full of essential advice and engaging anecdotes that take on being a "good dad" in a light-hearted, realistic way! Becoming a dad is the greatest-and, yet, the most difficult-privilege for any man. Dads don't have the same network of support that moms generally have; they're often back to work, exhausted, after only two weeks of paternity leave; and the world of diapers, bottles, and late-night feeds can leave them feeling bewildered. In between bathtime and bedtime, cleaning up, many sleepless nights, and unexpected outbursts (from both the kids and the adults), the author brings the highs and lows of fatherhood to life with hilarious stories and insightful reflections on his own very extensive-and very hectic-experience as a dad of three. Arranged thematically, covering topics such as eating and food, manners and socializing, sibling rivalry, tantrums, and the trials and tribulations of discipline, not to mention coping with pregnancy and birth, this down-to-earth book is full of useful tips on family life with children up to school age, and will appeal to all fathers looking for a humorous and intelligent take on what it means to be a modern dad
