The journey into parenthood starts well before the birth of the child and Memoirs of a Stay- At-Home Dad explores the adventure of one father as he takes on the role of being the stay-at home parent when his wife returns to work. As a new father Leonard Kopilas grapples with the concept of masculinity and the ideas of his role in the world and the larger questions about the social conventions and taboos associated with subservience to the greater good and the needs to preserve individuality amongst the process of raising tomorrows generation. Memoirs of a Stay- At-Home Dad opens discussions about this being a time where gender is being questioned, role models are being redefined and technology is casting a light on every corner of the world and thus parenthood becomes even more important for the stability of our children. "My children have come to learn from me. They are learning what a man is, what a father is and what a husband is. But, at the same time, it seems these little monsters are also teaching me those exact same traits. They have made me question both my heroes and my ideals, and, inadvertently, might just have helped create a better father for them in the process."
