Bøker av SCOTT TENNANT

If this guy can raise kids, so can you... The chaos of parenting leaves little time for self-reflection and even less for celebration. We dwell on everything we could be doing better as moms or dads while seldom reveling in our successes. It helps to take a step back and look at our personal parenting journeys - where we've been and where we're going - with laughter, pride, and maybe a few tears of nostalgia. 5 Kids, 1 Wife is a heartfelt and hilarious look at families and relationships through the eyes of a father trying his best to navigate the chaos of modern parenthood. He isn't perfect, but since when was perfection a requirement for raising happy and healthy kids? Thousands have learned from Scott Tennant on his journey over the past twelve years through his 5 Kids, 1 Wife blog, and now he brings the adventure to you in this book. The next time you feel less than confident in your parenting skills, 5 Kids, 1 Wife will help you realize you're not alone in experiencing the inevitable ups and downs.
