Being Dad Leslie Schinkel

When my husband and I became parents a decade ago, it was with a vague understanding that the workload created by our children would be shared between us.



The author was a stay-at-home dad of three energetic children and lived to tell about it. The Househusband's Handbook will give struggling dads much-needed support as they navigate what has traditionally been woman's domain. Men caring for children while their wives work outside the home is more common today than twenty years ago, but any man who chooses this non-traditional role may still find unexpected obstacles from the unlikeliest of places. This is not a job for the faint of heart. It takes a real man to love and nurture a child while doing laundry and watching a football game all at the same time.
