Publisher's Synopsis
Daddies Don't Have Vaginas: How to Be a Stay-Home Father While Leaving Your Manhood Intact is the Will Ferrell movie of parenting books. Through personal anecdotes, comedy and exercises, it emboldens stay-home daddies to reinvent parenting traditions by listening to their natural masculine instincts. The first emotion the author experienced after becoming a stay-home father to his one-year-old daughter was self-loathing. He no longer felt like a real man, because that's what history, tradition and other men were telling him. From classic parenting techniques to the style of baby equipment, he found a world dominated by feminine sensibilities. He figured he could either force himself to become more woman-like, or reinvent the game to fit his manly skill set. Stay-home fathers, Daddies Don't Have Vaginas is your essential guidebook; one that speaks your language and demands that you not become a mommy with a penis, but rather, a red-blooded Domesticated Viking on par with astronauts and firefighters. The author teaches you how to make your workforce friends green with jealousy, how to replace your baby equipment with more manly tackle, how to train your children to survive the impending collapse of our civilization, and the Art of the Naptime Spring Break, among many others... At its heart, Daddies Don't Have Vaginas is an exercise in discovering the fun and endless rewards in the relative new role of stay-home fatherhood, while never denying how fucking hard it is. The intention, after reading this book, is for fathers to feel more than just confident being the primary caretaker, but also excited about the journey and eager to make it greater.
