The Dadly Virtues

From the all-star cast who brought you The Seven Deadly Virtues comes a book with a look at the good life or the crazy-stressful-overwhelmed life of a father. The Dadly Virtues is a tongue-in-cheek collection of encouragement and guidance for any stage of fatherhood, from pacifying babies to prepping for senior prom, from cutting the cord to getting the first, Best Grandpa t-shirt. P.J. ORourke sets the stage with the chapter, What Do Men Get from Fatherhood? Besides What They Put In and then is followed by: Matthew Continettis, Newborn Terror: The Moment You Realize that Bundle of Joy Is a Euphemism for Something Very Different. Stephen F. Hayes Siblings: The Best Gift Youll Ever Give Your Kids. Jonah Goldbergs Get Your Kid a Dog: The Moral Case for Pets. Tucker Carlsons In Praise of Adventure: How to Fill a Childs Life with Excitement and Danger (without Getting Them Killed). Michael Grahams, Dating: Enjoy the Movie and Please Keep the Impregnation to a Minimum. Christopher Caldwells College: Its Not as Bad as You Think; Its Worse. Andrew Fergusons Emerging Adults and Empty Nesters: Just When You Had Fatherhood All Figured Out. Toby Youngs The Dark Side: Bad Parenting and the Things We Think, but Do Not Say. Joseph Epsteins Thanks, Grandpa: Grandfatherhood and the Spirit of the Age. And more. Father-to-be, two-time-dad, or granddad, each essay will make you laugh and, at the same time, reinforce your commitment to the virtuousthe dadlylife.
