Title: Dad You Suck: And other things my children tell me Author: Tim Dowling Narrator: Tim Dowling Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 5 hours 23 minutes Release date: May 18, 2017 Genres: Parenting Tips Publisher's Summary: Written with self-excoriating candour and the driest humour, comes a book about being a dad from one of our best loved journalists. “For me the hardest task of fatherhood was always the oppressive obligation to lead by example. My sons have been present on countless occasions when I have, as we say in my homeland, completely lost my shit. During these stressful moments I have often wished to turn to them as a judge might to a jury and say, “Please strike the next few minutes from the record”, but many of those instances are chronicled in these pages. It’s not because I’m any less ashamed now; it’s because if I left them out there wouldn’t be enough for a book. Perhaps this is my life’s true purpose: maybe I’m here to teach my sons that self-esteem comes and goes – it can get rolled right out of you at short notice – but that you still can get by in life without any, as long as you don’t want to be a contestant on The Apprentice. That, at least, is my experience. And for what it’s worth, my example.”
