Description: If only life were like a 1950s sitcom, when Ward Cleaver always knew just the right answer for Wally or the Beav. Well, it's not the 1950s -- in fact, even the 1950s weren't ever like the idyllic world embodied in the TV families of that era. Now, perhaps more than ever, being a father is one of the toughest jobs a man can have. Where's the line between tenderness and tough love, sensitivity, and sternness? The Complete Idiot's Guide to Fatherhood answers all the questions that any new or veteran father could ever have on topics ranging from punishment and privileges to communication to what to teach the kids on morals, sex, drugs, and other thorny questions. Contemporary issues such as divorce, step-parenting, and single-parenting are also addressed. For any father who's ever had a hunch that being a fair but firm father is much tougher than it seemed on The Brady Bunch, this book guarantees he'll be able to do the job.
