Ever wonder how Neal Pollack or Moon Unit Zappa felt after becoming parents? Even if you’ve never considered it, chances are you’ll be able to relate to the 32 stories by well-known writers contained in Blindsided By A Diaper. Recounting stories of how their relationships changed after welcoming a baby into their home, these writers manage to be funny, shocking, brutally honest, and heartwarming all at the same time.
These accounts – which come from both men and women – might surprise you, but only in their candor and aptness to your own experiences. They are able to capture both the joy and unease of having a baby with all of the feelings new parents everywhere have felt, but may not been able to express.
With essays grouped into six parts – The Roles We Play, Seeing Each Other Differently, The Communication Challenge, Making Time for Intimacy, Learning on the Job, and Not What We Were Expecting, this book can be read slowly or all at once, and there are stories contained in it that can validate whatever feeling you might be having about the addition of your new family member. Perfect for long-time or first-time moms and dads, parents to be, or even those wondering what the decision to have a baby will really do to their relationship, this book has all the dependability and frankness of an old friend who likes you enough to tell it like it is.
