Fathering from the Fast Lane: Practical Ideas for Busy Dads

by Bruce Robinson

Addressing the issue of how men in demanding jobs can ensure they are good fathers to their children, this guide presents numerous ways to improve both the quality and amount of time that fathers spend with their children. Interviewed are more than 75 men from different backgrounds and professions, from pig farmers and plumbers to doctors and politicians. These men speak about the ways they balance demanding jobs with being food dads and offer suggestions for making work help, rather than hinder, fathering. All fathers, whether in separated or intact families, can benefit from the experiences of these successful, busy dads.

Reviews

[Steven Kolber · Rating 3 out of 5]

Reasonably dated, but always good fodder for comparison and exploring your own values as a parent - mostly on the clashing negatives than the glowing positives.

[Graham Okely · Rating 4 out of 5]

A well researched and written book. Plenty of quotes from all sorts of Australian men.

A good read with plenty of quotes interspersed with insightful comments by the author.
