Description

Dad Truths is your antidote to the aspirational parenting craze; this collection of laugh-out-loud stories and non-advice provides much needed real talk and commiseration for parents everywhere.

You’ve read every other parenting guide, and you still don’t know whether you’re a good parent. Mike Julianelle, the Brooklyn-based dad and founder of Dad and Buried, is here to tell you exactly what you want to hear—that you’re already great and the kids are the problem. Jokes aside, this book provides the help that every fed-up and exhausted parent needs to survive another day, including short essays, funny illustrations, and jokes on topic such as:

You Can’t Handle the Baby-Proof
We’re All Mad Here—Well, Mostly the Toddler
Stay at Home Dad Trial
Surviving Disney World
The Ultimate Dad Pep Talk

In this hilarious book, Mike Julianelle will remind you to cut yourself some slack. Parenting is no easy feat and if you’re here, you’re already a pretty great dad.

James D, Reviewer

Dad Truths is a book based on the experiences of fatherhood by Mike Julianelle, who goes by Dad and Buried on social media.

I will start by saying I haven't come across the Dad and Buried account but if his book is anything to go by, I will definitely take a look.

Dad Truths is a very good book for new dads to read. It gives all the details, good and bad, about what to expect from parenthood. It doesn't patronise its readers and comes across as if you are talking to a friend rather than reading a textbook. Dad Truths is very funny, and as a dad of a 7-month-old has left me excited (and terrified) of the years to come.

Many thanks to Mike Julianelle, NetGalley, and Quarto Publishing for this copy.
