Nick never expected to be a stay home Dad, the proverbial “Mr. Mom “. At first, as expected, he was embarrassed by the turn of the traditional roles. It was expected as everyone seemed to have a comment, “lucky you marrying a doctor and get to stay home home and not work.” Of course it’s those whom have never stayed home with the children who would dare say “not work”!
Daddy 3.0 is Nick’s journey learning to be a full time parent, housekeeper, cook, and all those things associated with domesticity. Oh yes, he is also being a support to his severely overworked wife while she works through a year’s residency as a surgical fellow in a New York hospital. His adventure is funny, frustrating and fascinating. We learn about his relationships with other “moms” and the clever names he gives them. His experience as part of the co-op family association is interesting, especially his encounters with “super Mom”. His in-laws are so enthusiastic about his role as caregiver / slacker! What a treat.
Andrew Wehrlen’s narration of the story adds to the fun. I especially like his “lady voices”. So sit back, relax and enjoy, but be prepared to laugh out loud every once in a while. I would recommend this to anyone who is married (or not) with children (or child). I was given this audiobook, at my request, in exchange for an honest review.
