- Book Intro
-
What do men feel and think about when they take care of children? The author reveals his innermost feelings, such as embarrassment and alienation, as a man taking care of his child. Perhaps, wives had better read this book first before asking their husbands to take care of their child. This book will be useful for starting a conversation between a wife, who is stressed because she wants her husband to do more childcare, and a husband, who wants to be good at childcare, but somehow can't work it out.
