Book excerpt: Man-friendly, practical, and perfect for experienced stay-at-home dads as well as new parents weighing their childcare options, this handbook tackles head-on the issues fathers face when they become primary caregivers. Living comfortably on one income, leaving the job identity behind, cleaning the house efficiently, and networking in a female-oriented community can be challenging for a new father, and these creative anecdotes offer supportive and effective advice to help stay-at-home dads successfully deal with the psychological issues and everyday occurrences that make their parenting situation unique. This advice-oriented guide also includes an extensive resource section listing books, newsletters, online chat groups, playgroups around the country, stay-at-home dad organizations, and other networking opportunities.
