The Stay at Home Mother

I just finished reading a terrific book called The Modern Mom's Guide to Dads.

The book provides a window into the minds of fathers, and what they really think - but are too afraid to voice aloud.

In it, the author, Hogan Hilling, provides ten secrets a husband won't tell his wife. I personally think it is brilliant, not only because it is honest and insightful - but because it was high time that a book was written to help us moms understand things from a dad's point of view....

As moms today, we blog (as I do!), we get together for coffee, we vent with our friends - and there are a million books out there to support moms through their journey through parenthood. But there isn't a whole lot out there to support dads or examine how dads feel about parenthood.

And yes, I am the first to admit the reason is proabably because women are still the primary care-givers, but that shouldn't deminish a dad's huge contribution and integral role in the family.

Hogan Hilling (who is a stay at home dad!) - is the founder of Proud Dads Inc. and conducts classes for expenctant fathers - and workshops for mothers on fathering issues in the United States.

Hmm - it's almost exactly what I have been doing for the past few years - except from a dad's point of view!

This book helps couples better understand one another. I would recommend it to any mom who wants a better understanding of her husband and how he feels.
