catsalive (Australia) (2013/06/04): cover: When Jospeh Stone's long time partner Dilys walks out on him, he doesn't mope on the sidelines of single-parenthood. He knows where the Toilet Duck lives and how to knock up a storming chicken nugget and beans. He's sure he knows how to be a Mum as well as a Dad to his three energetic children Gloria, Jed and Billy. He even scores in his love life again. But after he and Dilys agree to share the care of the kids - one week at Mummy's home, one week at Daddy's - he begins to feel distinctly second best to Dilys's mysterious new man, Chris. What does she see in this computer nerd in bush shorts? What is a Manly Men convention and what does Chris get up to when he's at one? What drives Jospeh to dress up as a moose? And why is there a dead cat in his sports bag?
Dad's Life is a wonderfully warm, witty and true novel about fatherhood when family values fall apart and you're left holding the babies in one hand and your sanity in the other.
