"It's rare and refreshing to receive a dispatch directly from the heart of the Daddy Trap. Rob Wilder writes about the hidden humiliations of fatherhood with a sly wit and brutal candor. Better yet, he is able to convey — without cheap sentiment — the profound love he feels for his wife and children, even as they drive him nuts. A lovely book."

—Steve Almond, author of Candyfreak and The Evil B.B. Chow

"This book is wonderful and charming and so welcome. By the end I wished Robert Wilder had six more children and had written four hundred more pages; his voice, and his family, are irresistible."

—Haven Kimmel, author of A Girl Named Zippy and She Got Up Off The Couch

"This book made me laugh out loud. I don't have children but I couldn't put it down. The complex world of parenting in modern America comes fully alive. Beautifully written, this book is for everyone."

—Natalie Goldberg, author of Writing Down the Bones and The Great Failure
