Description:
Tired of earnest arias on the mysteries of fatherhood? What the Heck Were You Expecting? is a hilarious send-up of those comprehensive what-to-expect manuals. Even better, so much useful information is folded in with the wisecracks that even know-it-all dads are bound to learn something. In his bestselling What to Expect When Your Wife Is Expanding, author Thomas Hill acted as the third-base coach who signaled expectant fathers to home plate. In this follow-up, Hill tells them what happens afterwards, from a teething crisis (put down the Jack Daniels and reach for the Tamnavulin) to reassuring partners that their cracked, aching nipples are still sexy. Chapters are broken into chronological order, one for each month of your new baby's life (except for months eight, nine and ten, which are lumped into one). Regular features include "What Your Above-Average Baby May Be Doing," "What Your Wife May Be Complaining About" (the new father is always on the list), and "What to be Terrified About." Despite this glibness, readers will actually learn things from this book, though it's not the sort of manual that comes with a plump, user-friendly index. Rather, What the Heck? is designed to help new dads loosen up, while offering a truly "complete guide for the perplexed father."--Kathi Inman Berens
