These books have been a consistent and constructive voice from expecting through year three. It's been nice to track along with milestones and also be reminded of some of the age-appropriate activities we can take part in together. Dad jokes? Yes. A little goofy? Yes. A worthwhile companion on the fatherhood journey? Definitely. ( ) This took a lot of the guesswork of being a Dad through the first twelve months of my son's life. I'd been with my stepson from about 1 yr onward, so this fresh-new-helpless-baby thing was a shock to my system. This book is THE manual for Dads. Can't beat the humor and straightforwardness. You WILL get peed on. Oh, yes, you will. I received this book as a gift to prepare for our first child. The book is broken down in to 12 monthly segments, each describing what to expect in terms of baby development, spousal issues, and family life. Interspersed is some helpful tips on things such as budgeting and insurance. The author has multiple children through multiple partners, and speaks of step-issues as well (not applicable in my case). The information provided seems to be helpful and well-presented. When d-day comes, I will probably re-read this on a chapter-per-month basis, focusing on the immediate future. no reviews | add a review
