The Modern Mom's Guide to Dads: Ten Secrets Your Husband Won't Tell You
Hogan Hilling and Jesse Jayne Rutherford
This "parenting relationship" book is based on the authors' experiences in leading more than 2,000 workshops with new and expectant dads to discuss parenting in a non-threatening environment. In it Hogan Hilling and Jesse Jayne Rutherford offer thoughtful insights into what makes dads behave the way they do.
Not long after Hilling began his workshops with dads, he began to hear from the moms. They were confused by their husbands' behavior and, knowing they were attending Hilling's workshops, invited him to speak to them about what he had learned. Soon he was conducting workshops with moms who wanted to know what their husbands thought about being dads. "Why doesn't he spend more time with the kids?" "Why am I stuck doing all of the housework?" "How can I get him more involved with our family?"
The Modern Mom's Guide to Dads draws on what Hilling has learned from working with dads and moms for more than fifteen years. He explains to modern moms what their husbands are really thinking about pregnancy, parenting, and marriage, and he teaches them how to get their husbands more involved with the kids and get some relaxation for themselves while keeping peace in their marriages.
In each chapter, Hilling tells stories from his own life and from the lives of other dads. Each of these stories sheds light on a secret that dads don't tell their wives. Also included are quotes from real dads about their innermost thoughts and feelings, helpful tips on parenting, and a section called "And a Mom Wants You to Know," written by Jesse Jayne Rutherford.
Written by a dad and a mom, The Modern Mom's Guide to Dads is a fun guide for understanding and strengthening a marriage that has given birth!
