Parenting guides lie. This one doesn't. It's packed with absurd tips and stories for insecure new fathers and those on their way to becoming one. Never before have the pains of childbirth been described in a way that men can relate to, or the effects of sleep deprivation. Matt Coyne pulls no punches and simultaneously shows that children are indeed a pure joy. This has made him a Facebook star, followed enthusiastically by thousands. If you want to know what the ideal birth, the ideal development of your child, and the ideal parenting look like, read another book. But if you want to hear the unvarnished, gritty truth about childbirth and parenthood, read this one. It is brutally honest and familiarizes you with the harsh reality, but it also shows you that you are not an overambitious helicopter parent.
