Moms have hundreds of parenting advice books willing to tackle the more cringe-inducing questions of parenthood. But what about books for the other half of the equation: the dads? Man vs. Child is a funny, fresh take on the parenting guide, written from the dad's perspective. Author and popular Upright Citizens Brigade performer Doug Moe knows first-time fathers are as worried about being terrible at their new terrifying jobs as new moms are. But while most modern fathering guides center on men's oafish parental failings, Man vs. Child forgoes condescension in favor of fresh and irreverent wit. This guide for first-time dads tackles funny but important questions, like how to be a good dad without becoming a BabyBjörn-wearing tool in the process, or what to do if your child loves your iPad more than they love you. From caring for a newborn to dealing with a kid on the verge of adolescence, author Doug Moe breaks fatherhood down into survival lessons like "Time to Decide About God" and quizzes that ask dads to reflect on hilarious parenting questions like "Is My Child Too Annoying for This Restaurant?

But truly, truly I think this is a funny book. You should read it if you are a dad or soon to be one. Or if you know a dad or have seen a dad, why not read it? Or perhaps you are a wife to a soon-t0-be dad or a mother to a dad-t0-be. In those cases, maybe buy it as a gift.
It's out in May, but you can pre-order it!
Here's some copy that I wrote for the back cover, that didn't fit:
Why Won’t Your Kid Just Be Cool?
I used to be like you: scared of babies, sipping a fancy coffee, whiling away my hours in a bookstore, and not just after “story time.” But I traded in such freedom for love. Well, love and tantrums. In short, I became a dad.
Or maybe you're a dad-to-be, wondering what the heck you have done? Or are you a dad already? Um, I think your kid is smearing jelly on the self-help section.
There’s dads like us everywhere these days: changing diapers, pushing strollers, desperately trying to reason with screaming children.
But where are the books for us? Moms have lots of funny parenting books to drink wine to. But most books for dads are either treat us like idiots or they’re full of useful, but boring information.
This book is different. Man vs. Child is about the absurdity of being a dad today: from your blissful pre-baby days through when your kid is off at school, probably talking shit about you. It’s a companion to help you through the hard times, like when you need something to read on the toilet and your phone is dead.
It’s a guide to the really important stuff, like how to dress your baby according to your personal brand and whether you need to make friends with other parents on the playground. It’s a guidebook for smart, funny dads who are still worried about messing up their kid.
I hope you like it. Welcome to the weirdness of parenting. ( )
