At the time my son came along, I already had a 16-year-old daughter who was almost grown and out of the house. I thought my work was done. Apparently not. So now, at 38, here I am starting over. New baby, new family, same old me. Except for one thing: this time, I get a front-row seat to everything. Diapers, teething, early morning feedings... I get to experience it all as I stay home to raise my son. If you've ever wondered what the life of a stay-at-home parent is really like, here is your answer.
But fair warning: if you are looking for a cute, fuzzy book about raising children with bunnies and rainbows, then you need to keep walkin'. This book is based in reality. If happy little bunnies are your preference, I would recommend reading some old Family Circus books by Bil Keane. Livin' La Vida Papa is full of humorous stories and tips lifted from my real life experiences as a stay-at-home dad, including plenty of examples of things you probably shouldn't do.
Whatever you do, DON'T mistake this for a parenting book. I don't need that on my conscience.
LANGUAGE WARNING: Contains words you would never want to hear come from your toddler's mouth. So don't let your kids read it.
WHO THE HECK IS DAVID MCAFEE?
David McAfee is a world-renowned author of horror fiction and treatises on Nuclear Physics. His missionary work in the Congo has twice earned him a nomination for the Nobel Prize, which he has yet to win. When he does, it will go right on his wall alongside his Congressional Medal of Honor and framed certificate of completion from Mrs. Potter's 4th Grade Class. (Go Potts!)
His horror novels have been translated into a hundred and thirty-two languages (including French, German, Spanish, Mandarin, and Klingon) and have sold over a hundred million copies in 84 countries around the world, as well as a few on the International Space Station. At the time of this writing, he is raking in the dough at a rate of approximately eight figures each month and dodging calls from dozens of supermodels who, for some reason, want to marry him.
All of which give him the commercial and personal clout to write his own bio.
"Reading [McAfee's] latest just solidified for me what I've been saying for years: I don't want kids, because I'll end up just like him." ~~ Sean Sweeney, author of the AGENT thriller series.
