  'She takes my hand. 'Andrew', she says, 'let's have children'. I know this is a historic moment. I must respond like a man. So I ignore her...' This wise, intimate, and hilarious book is based on Andrew Clover's much-loved Sunday Times columns. He tells stories about how he's coped with all the big parenting issues: sibling rivalry, choosing a school, winning an argument about where you're spending Christmas. He also wrestles with all the big questions: Why do I have no friends anymore? Am I turning into my dad? Will we ever have sex again? He describes the journey he made from reluctant father, to being the happiest man in North London, as he learns from his daughters that, if you want to have fun, you better start playing.

  'She says: 'Darling let's have children'. I know this is a historic moment. I must respond like a man. So I ignore her...' - Sunday Times columnist Andrew Clover would like to share with you everything he's learned - the hard way - about childcare. Starting at the beginning, by asking why men are so terrified of breeding, he examines every worry a parent is likely to face: How can I make them sleep? How do I choose a good school? Will I ever have sex again? Why should I paint my face like a tiger? Wise and candid, this is the most truthful parenting guide of all time. It's also the funniest and most inspiring read any dad - or mum - could ever hope to read.
