Beyond the Baby Babble: Surviving Life as a Work-At-Home Dad (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781975687694)

"To be honest, this was one of the first books I've read 'cover to cover' in a long time. I was often nodding along in agreement and saying to myself, 'Oh yeah, I SO remember going through that!'"
- Stacey Robinsmith, staceyrobinsmith.com

"I loved this book--Michael is such a funny author, and a great father too."
- Stephanie Parent

More and more people are not only choosing to work from home, but they are also running their own small businesses. At the same time, the boundaries between traditional gender roles are blurring and more men than ever before are choosing to stay home full time to raise their families.

But what about the intersection between those two demographics?

What about the work-at-home dad balancing his professional duties with full-time fatherhood?

In Beyond the Baby Babble, freelance writer Michael Kwan explores these unfamiliar waters, finding himself waist-deep in princess culture while trying to work between diaper changes. Do babies really cost as much as everyone says they do? How flustered can you really get bathing a baby for the first time? Can having a kid actually boost your productivity? And what exactly is muslin?

And it's not a dad bod. He prefers the term "father figure."
