- Book Synopsis
- Written with self-excoriating candour and the driest humour, comes a book about being a dad from one of our best loved journalists.For Tim Dowling, fatherhood has sometimes felt like two decades of lessons learned through failure.1. Don't give your children sugary drinks and expect them to be as sweet. You could end up with a chopstick in your earhole.2. There is no reason holidays should be thought of as relaxing. Consider them an opportunity to be shrieked at in different climates.3. 'Let's not tell mum about this' is not legally binding. It never has been. You're only trying to make yourself feel better.Drawing on what actually feels like two lifetimes of experience, Dad You Suck is a hilarious account of the joy of fatherhood, and the subtle art of transforming your children's insults into a reason for being.
- About The Author
- Journalist Tim Dowling was born in Connecticut and moved to the UK at the age of 29. He is the author of 4 books (so far) including a novel, 'The Giles Wareing Haters' Club'. For the last five and a half years his popular weekly Guardian column has charted the ups and downs of family life, and his largely unsuccessful attempts to be recognised as a competent father and husband, combining self-deprecating humour with a perverse optimism.
