Publisher's Summary

"I've experienced all the different roles you have to play when there's nobody else around: a parent, a dad, a father, a stand-in mom, a confidant, always a butler or maid, a teacher and, most crucially, a friend."

In this enlightening, but also very practical, audiobook, Roger McEwan shares the lessons he's learned from years as a solo dad.

It is not, he insists, a self-help guide. But among the rich, always fascinating, often hilarious experiences of his times with his two children, are dozens and dozens of useful pieces of advice for parents, from developing a great relationship with your ex if possible to letting the children pick the clothes they want to wear. Advice also includes teaching your children how to cook and to acknowledge that changing a toilet roll is too complex for anyone under the age of 18 to understand.

This audiobook was made with the Audiobooks NZ self-record kit.

Thoroughly recommend

This reading is well paced, frank and honest, and littered with Kiwi wit
The recollections of small victories are nearly always balanced with tales of minor fails, with both being equally useful.
I found Roger’s message that regardless of society’s prejudices, children can have great fathers who also happen to be single.
I now look ahead to my pending solo dad journey with far more optimism.
Thank you Roger.
