Life Is Short, Laundry Is Eternal: Confessions of a Stay-at-Home Dad
As some of you may know, I work home. I work for myself, actually for my clients, but you get the point. Amanda is a teacher, so that means she is gone most of the day and I am home all day. Since I feel that being a teacher is one of the most important jobs in our world and I understand how hard she works, I like to make sure the house is cleaned, dishes are done, food is cooked and laundry is done. So, even though we don’t have kids, I am a stay at home dad in training.
When I first met Scott in real life in Indianapolis, I loved the fact that he was a stay at home dad and I couldn’t wait to read the book. There were so many different stories in the book that I caught myself saying, wow, I had that same discussion or thought with Amanda.
Scott does an amazing job telling the story of a stay at home dad by making it funny and serious at different times. Honestly, I think he makes it look cool to be a stay at home dad. Tie in a little sports and diabetes, and you have yourself a best seller
A few of my favorite chapters in the book are:
- The Path to Parenthood Starts with Sex
- I May Be Growing Ovaries
- Her Breathe Smells Funny
- I Remember Having Sex..and the Baby Proves It
- Could I See You in the Basement for a Minute?
I would definitely (this is so cliche, but oh well) recommend this book to my friends and family. In fact, the copy that I have has now been read by myself, my mother, grandmother, and I read most of it out loud to my wife because I was laughing so much throughout it.
If you haven’t read this book already, I hope you enjoy.
