Best resources for working dads
What are the best resources for working dads?
10 years ago, there were a handful of dads’ parenting books on the market (many of which ran with a predominantly jokey-theme). Now, thankfully, there are a whole host of options available for dads who want to learn more about parenting, as well as the huge issue of getting the right parenting/working balance.
