The UK Government Gets in the Daddying Act
Posted on 08. Jun, 2007 by Brian Reid in General
So the fine folks running the UK have decided to give first-time dads a little bit of a primer on the whole pregnancy-and-childbirth thing, publishing a booklet titled “37 Things Every Man Should Know Before He Becomes A Dad‘. I’m not sure what to make of it — we sure don’t get government publications around here that look like this (trust me, I’ve written my share of government publications). And though I’m not on-board with all of the tips, any publication that gives car-seat tips, encourages sex and warns about the dangers of dealing with a handover and dealing with a baby at the same time is well worth a look.

Putting information in very short bursts and big letters (like this publications does) will probably suit many of us guys! Much more likely to get a read than a 280 page text book.

Interesting.
Personally I hate being told what to do by ANYONE, particularly the Govt.
