What They Are Saying About Desperate House Dad

“Desperate House Dad reads like real life, but is fiction. It’s a story of a man, Paul Logan, who decides to be a stay-at-home dad, while his wife, Jenny, continues to work and support their family. Through diaper changing, boredom, lack of adult company, doctor visits, and constant ribbing from the male species for being the primary care giver, Paul trudges on to welcome another child. At times Paul’s patience is stretched to the limit. But the unforgettable moments, such as when his youngest son takes his first steps, are what make the entire stay-at-home dad experience worthwhile and satisfying for him. The book is sometimes over the top and, quite frankly, one of the funniest books I've ever read. For those brave men out there who have chosen the path of stay-at-home dad, this is a must read. For those brave women who have trusted their husbands to stay at home with their children, this is must read, too.”
