I only just found your blog, which is weird because you've edited me twice now (I think?) and I shoulda google stalked you earlier. Secondly, my husband is the stay-at-home parent and we will totally buy your book. Third, I like DAddy Dialectic because you've already branded it and built a following through the blog AND it's a great title!Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04164833674841541784noreply@blogger.com
