In the tradition of Bill Cosby and Dave Barry, Man of the House is a tongue-in-cheek celebration of fatherhood and life in the suburbs today
With the same wry, ironic insights that have made his weekly Los Angeles Times column "Man of the House" a hit - and led to its syndicationa in 600 newspapers worldwide - this entirely original collection offers hilarious insight into family life today. Among the subjects Erskine explores are:
Post-marital sex: How come you can yell at your kids all day long with no discernible effect, but if you whisper something to your spouse in the middle of the night, the kids come running like showgirls to a limo?
Babysitters: Ever notice how the kids don't love you till your walking out the door?
The Bonus Baby: How newspapers and scotch tape can make a perfectly acceptable diaper for your fourth child.
From Little League dugouts to boozy dinners with friends to family vacations, Erskine's take on the American Dream will have any parent laughing out loud.
