Balanced Advice for Moms and Dads

              

Dr. Romance reviews  The Modern Mom's Guide to Dad: Ten Secrets Your Husbands Won't Tell You by Hogan HIlling and Jesse Jayne Rutherford 

As a psychotherapist who works with couples, I know what "baby shock" is, and the difficulties even good marriages have when the first baby arrives. Hogan's book is the perfect solution. It's a readable, down-to earth guide for both moms and dads that covers, frankly and directly, all the major issues parents have.

I loved the Hogan's Slogans, like "Love isn't solid -- It's more like clay than a rock" and the way he uses them to teach couples how to keep their intimate connection going while dealing with all the issues of parenting.

The book has frank discussions of sexual issues, in-law issues, parental roles, and most of all, the differences in the way men and women view and approach parenting.

I'm going to recommend it to my son and his pregnant wife, and to all my clients in the same situation. Bravo, Hogan! A great read.
