The Sh!t Dad: How Not to Parent

By Chris Spence

Are you a dad? About to become one? (Or shopping for a current or future father?)

Worried about royally screwing things up?

Then this book is for you.

In The Sh t Dad, self-described "hopeless parent" Chris Spence explains how to avoid the catalog of dumb mistakes he made, so you don't have to repeat them.

Packed with laugh-out-loud stories from the parenting trenches and ten field-tested "Dad Hacks," Spence delivers an unflinchingly honest, funny, and surprisingly useful guide to everything you should never do... and a few things that actually work.

He messed up, so you don't have to
