I got this book for my boyfriend, as he's in the military himself and I just felt that all the books about fatherhood we're like: "Oh, shit you're a dad! RUN!" and he's just really excited to one day BE a dad, so why be like that? This book isn't like this at ALL. I'm so happy I read this, and I actually learned a lot from this book. It isn't all macho, it also talks about all the emotions you will experience as a dad, which is great. It takes things serious, but makes it in a way that it's just fun. I can't wait to get the other books in this series, because they are fun, informative, a really quick read, but they take this seriously and are PROUD to be dads instead of all the "Oh no help!" books. I totally recommend it, even if you aren't in the military! ;)
Not that I need a parenting book to be militarised for me to want to read it, but it was gifted to me and I read it cover to cover, even though my - at the time - unborn baby wouldn’t be encountering these issues for many years. I still dip into the book from time to time seeing if there are any tips I may have forgotten that I could use now that he’s (for example) 8 months old.
