Waxing both profound and profane  on issues close to a father’s heart—from exploding diapers to toddler tantrums, from  the horrors of dressing up as Frosty the Snowman to the moments that make a father  proud—Robert Wilder brilliantly captures the joys and absurdities of being a parent  today.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e With an artist wife and two kids—a daughter, Poppy, and a son, London—Robert  Wilder considers himself as open-minded as the next man. Yet even he finds himself  parentally challenged when his toddler son, London, careens around the house in the  buff or asks the kind of outrageous, embarrassing questions only a kid can ask. A  high school teacher who sometimes refers to himself jokingly as Mister Mom (when  his wife, Lala, is busy in her studio), Wilder shares warmly funny stories on everything  from sleep deprivation to why school-sponsored charities can turn otherwise sane  adults into blithering and begging idiots.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e Whether trying to conjure up the perfect  baby name (“Poppy” came to his wife’s mother in a dream) or hiring a Baby Whisperer  to get some much-needed sleep, Wilder offers priceless life lessons on discipline,  potty training, even phallic fiddling (courtesy of young London). He describes the  perils of learning to live monodextrously (doing everything with one hand while carrying  your child around with the other) and the joys of watching his daughter morph into  a graceful, wise, unique little person right before his eyes.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e By turns tender, irreverent,  and hysterically funny, \u003ci\u003eDaddy Needs a Drink\u003c\/i\u003e is a hilarious and poignant tribute to  his family by a man who truly loves being a father.","brand":"Delta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44213960343807,"sku":"9780385339261","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0452\/0886\/2873\/files\/9780385339261_s600x595.jpg?v=1775583513","url":"https:\/\/massivebookshop.com\/de\/products\/9780385339261","provider":"MASSIVE BOOKSHOP","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
