It's always good to see 'the other point of view' and this collection of stories gives valuable insight into how dads cope with dealing with a part of life that most never really see.  Although, women have, for the most part, always had to do this, with the additional string of having to 'earn money' too.Yes, it's always good that fathers take an interest in their children, who can only benefit from the added dimension, but should dads receive any more medals for the 'job' than women?  I've often heard it said that fathers are so 'brave' and 'wonderful' for staying at home with the kids, yet women never seem to afford the same luxury - many times having to 'do it all' without recognition, appreciation or thanks.In my opinion, parents should be equal from all perspectives.  Although the world may see women as inferior because they are, 1. women 2. mothers 3. stay at home 4. only housewives, 5. only part time earners 6. domestics, I wonder why the complete opposite happens when men take on the role, becoming almost heroes.Yes, this book was well written and sprinkled with humour, but, I hope that readers don't romanticise the notion that men (like they've done with cooking) are even more superior if they take on a supposed woman's place.
