Dishpan Dad

Dishpan Dad: A Guy's Guide to Raising Infants Toddlers and Preschoolers was written by and for a stay-at-home dad but it's a book for essentially any parent who has children under age 5. In more than 80 chapters the book delves into issues unique to at-home dads: being surrounded by moms-whose husbands eye you with suspicion or derision-crises of self worth cultural dogma stereotypes emotional and intellectual challenges and more. It also gets down to the business of raising mannered well-behaved resilient kids. In Dishpan Dad fathers will learn where to get good parenting advice-and where not to get it-how to avoid doing laundry at least for a while the importance of mouth breathing why candy for breakfast is a bad idea the importance of a manly diaper bag and how much time and effort it takes to get kids ready and out the door. There is more of course. Lots more all packaged in a book that's educational fun and easy to read.
