Description of technique:
Dads don't always realize how tiring motherhood is, even if they faithfully read some of the stuff we leave lying around for them to look at. ;-)

Other comments or suggestions:
Expect Dad to have at least an occasional moment of feeling Left Out. Even Practically Perfect couples have their moments of "discussion". Everything changes, even Sex, and intellectual and emotional acceptance are not one and the same. It's a real adjustment, respect it, respect each other. Books are abundant. Dave Barry wrote one a few years ago, and he probably has another in the works, because of Baby Sophie. His features outrageous humor, and the illustrations are Wonderful!! I highly, highly recommend it.
