mamalemma's review against another edition
1.0
The essays range from okay to poorly written, and the editing is atrocious. It was a quick read, but unless you are looking to feel less alone as a stay-at-home dad, it's probably not worth your while.
kellyhitchcock's review against another edition
3.0
Despite this book being about the fairly new social phenomenon of stay-at-home dads, I think it has broad appeal to anyone who's ever had any of the following thoughts:
Am I nurturing enough person to be a good parent?
What logical reason do I have for having a child?
Will my child become an asshole if I send him to daycare?
How much is my career worth to me?
The stories are entertaining, heartwarming, and realistic. I greatly appreciated the viewpoints of real dads dealing with real social pressures. My problem with this book is that some of the stories are pretty poorly edited, and the last one in the series was practically unreadable to me; I gave up on it about halfway through.
That said, it's an honest and easy read and I think it's going for about a buck in the Kindle store, so I say go for it, particularly if you're a dude, or just a woman whose parents' upbringing with a high degree of respect for logic leaves her wondering why having kids should be part of her future.
