Austerity Dad: Handy Hints And Tips For The Family On A Budget (The Stay At Home Dad Diaries)

In this sequel to Fortysomething Father, Jason Ayres guides us through another hilarious year in his life bringing up two young boys as a stay at home dad. Presented in diary form, the author provides his musings not only on family matters but on all manner of other topics that he encounters in his daily routine. Along the way he presents lots of tongue-in-cheek “money-saving tips” though some of these should definitely be taken with a pinch of salt. Taking out your own teeth? Don’t try this at home… From negotiating the pitfalls of nappies and supermarkets, to dreaming of his own TV show starring himself as a range of strange comic characters, not to mention his unhealthy obsessions with ham and crisps, if you’re looking for something a little different and a little quirky then this unusual and entertaining book may be just what you are looking for.
