Dads Own Housekeeping Book

Description

Just because you're born with a "Y" chromosome doesn't excuse you from cleaning the bathroom, especially in this day and age when time's at a premium and partners have to be, well partners. To help men pull their weight is "Dad's Own Housekeeping Book", the book of everything your mother never taught you about taking care of the house. From daily hands-on experience, David Bowers, a stay-at-home dad, writes a housekeeping handbook for guys, done in a guy's way and in direct guy style. You'll learn how to approach housekeeping as if it were garden work - only indoors: creating efficient systems, conquering clutter like a combat mission, the aeronautically-correct way to load a dishwasher (just like loading the car boot). You'll get things like "The 30-Minute Pre-In-Laws-Arrival Assault on Dirt Program," the One Minute Bed-Making Technique, and Dad's Own Stain Removing Treatment. It's about getting it done quickly and efficiently, not perfectly, and there are no unwelcome sidebars about dust ruffles or window treatments.

David Bowers is a woodworker, painter, author of Bake Like a Man: A Real Man's Cookbook, and stay-at-home dad.
