Funny and wise! Chris got it as a gift and I ended up reading it. Love the ideas for how to avoid 'factor bad.' I like the ideas in here about how to model behavior for children.

I got this book for my husband, but read it first - thankfully. It’s full of great advice like; get rid of all your pets.
*heavy sarcasm*
It’s not even about how controversial parenting advice can be, it’s just bad advice for dads like lying to the mother about bathing the child because you’re tired. Who does that?!
There is some humor but it’s not quite evident and when compared to things he’s serious about, I got a bit uncomfortable and unsure of where the lines were.
I would HIGHLY recommend not reading a book over reading this book. If this is the kind of advice people are giving dads then it’s no wonder it’s easier for the mothers to do everything themselves. For $25, please spend your money on something for your child. Or just let your child play with this book.
