5 Kids, 1 Wife

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. The author is, after all, someone who: * Relied a bit too heavily on Winnie the Pooh videos to occupy his children’s time when they were toddlers * Wants you to understand the vital role Chuck E. Cheese plays in keeping your kids from rebelling * Once unknowingly installed a cat flap six feet in the air at the top of his basement door * Believes wholeheartedly in his “Lazy Person’s Guide to Parent-Teacher Conferences” Trust us, if this guy can raise children, you’re doing just fine. The fact is, you’re a far better parent than you realize, and your children are lucky to have you. Sit back, enjoy a few laughs, learn a thing or two about the adventure we call parenting, and by the end, make sure to take a bow for how far you’ve come. You deserve it.
