The Very Personal Experience of Fatherhood.
What does it mean to become a father in the 21st century? You have to show up for the birthing classes and do your bit on the big day, but what then? Thirty years ago a man did enough if he provided for the family. These days, though, there is increasing awareness of the impact fathers have on their children's development and that spending time with their children is far more valuable than working back late. Sadly, career and family are not always compatible.
In this book, Australian men speak frankly about their experiences of fatherhood, sharing their emotions, their fears and their joys. We meet the prominent scientist who decided to stop work altogether to help his wife nurse their critically ill son, and the doctor who's managed to find a good blend of career and family.
