'She says- 'Darling let's have children'. I know this is a historic moment. I must respond like a man. So I ignore her. I don't understand pregnancy. I don't understand how two cells becomes four cells which becomes someone who wipes jam on the CDs . . . '
Andrew Clover, the much-loved Sunday Timescolumnist, tells stories about everything he's learned about childcare. Starting at the beginning, by explaining why men are so terrified of breeding, he examines every worry a parent is likely to face- How can I make them sleep? How do I choose a good school? Will I ever have sex again? Wise and candid, this is the most truthful parenting guide of all time. It's also, by a distance, the funniest and most inspiring.
'A hilarious and heart-warming insight into the way men think' OK!
