The Dysfunctional Father's Guide to Pregnancy Birth and Babies Now Distributed by Atlas Books

March 23, 2010 - PRLog -- The Dysfunctional Fathers Guide is a self help book written by two dysfunctional dads (XY), both Harvard Law School grads practicing in Seattle, and brilliantly illustrated by David Shaw. The book provides honest information on how to cope with such events as fertility clinics and vasectomies, how to avoid sex during pregnancy, changing poopy diapers, getting up at night and why you should never agree to holding a birthday party for one year olds.

The book has had good exposure and excellent reviews but Bridgeross decided to turn the distribution over to Atlas in order to give purchasers greater exposure to the book. The book makes a great gift for about to become fathers, new fathers, old fathers, any male contemplating becoming a father  and their wives and girlfriends if only to confirm just how inept their male partners are..

Listed as one of the best baby shower gifts in the book category on Examiner.com, The Dysfunctional Father's Guide has received excellent reviews from both fathers, mothers and expectant grandmothers. Sue Vogan, an about to be grandmother, reviewed this book on Bookpleasures and said "I didn’t know anything about what really goes on in the minds of young men. This book is being hand delivered to my son. Now he’ll know that I know about what really goes on"

A mother reviewing this on the Dirty Shirt Blog wrote "I don’t think I have ever laughed as hard reading a book on women, birth and babies as I did reading this one. I highly recommend this to every man and woman who is going through the phase of birth and babies. For the women you can get the low down on some of the sneaky things men will do to get out of helping, which of course will land them in the doghouse.  

With chapters titled cleverly like “Sex During Pregnancy (And How To Avoid It”) you kind of get the gist of the direction this book goes in, because really what man writes willingly about avoiding sex?  This is a great book and a smooth read, if you don’t mind stopping every other page to laugh. I even had to run in to the next room at one point and say to my husband “This is so you!”  So if you are looking for a great book to read this is one!"

And from a father reviewing this on Amazon comes "it was a very odd time in my life, one for which American popular culture did absolutely nothing to prepare me. Well, now there is The Dysfunctional Father's Guide to Pregnancy Birth and Babies. This wonderful book, filled with tons of off-beat humor, takes a twisted and sadly all too natural look at childbirth and babies from a father's viewpoint. I found the book to be Laugh-Out-Loud funny, and I kept waking my wife up to make her listen to yet another hilarious line.....

I laughed my way all the way through this book, and think that it is one of the funniest books that I have seen in a long time. I highly recommend it to every man who is a survivor of labor and delivery! (I am not sure that anyone else will get it.”
