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 toddlersWants you to understand the vital role Chuck E. Cheese plays in keeping your kids from rebellingOnce unknowingly installed a cat flap six feet in the air at the top of his basement doorBelieves 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.
