Daddy 3.0: A Comedy of Errors

De: Rob Armstrong

Narrado por: Andrew B. Wehrlen

2017 Independent Author Network Winner - Best Comedy/Satire Novel

What a mess. This was not supposed to happen.

This isn't where Nick Owen thought he would be by this point in life. He used to be a busy web programmer. Now, he spends most of his energy trying to stop his three-year-old twins from playing in a dirty sand pit. Nick thinks of himself as Daddy 3.0, a stay-at-home dad - but he just wasn't programmed for this.

He must navigate a new world of jungle gyms and play dates while supporting his surgeon wife. He tries his best to be there for the twins, but he can't stop making a mess of things. He's just about nearing the end of his rope when the Swing Incident happens. The Swing Incident, spoken of in hushed tones around Nick's New York City apartment building, has caused the resident queen bee, nicknamed "Supermom", to declare him an enemy for life. No matter what Nick does to get back into Supermom's good graces, he fails spectacularly.

Now, Nick's going to have to learn to fight fire with fire and become the best super-parent on the block. This hilarious new book by Rob Armstrong chronicles one man's journey into the world of modern fatherhood - one botched haircut, playground fight, and dirty diaper at a time.

Stay-at-home dads have a new hero, of sorts.

Mr. Mom meets The Incredibles

I was given this free review copy audio book at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

So, this was like Mr. Mom merged with The Incredibles. As a father myself, it made for a very enjoyable and fun experience. Definitely worth checking out.

Very enjoyable

This book was a wonderful illustration of life in the parental trenches. Parents of both sexes have to traverse many obstacles to raise their little ones to adulthood. This is Nick Owen's story.

We see Nick as a fledging stay-at-home dad to twin girls. Over the course of the book he grows into his role while managing the many bumps along the way, most significantly keeping his working wife happy.

We applaud when he succeeds, wince when he fails (which he does often), and cringe every time 'super Mom' comes into view.

The narration was really good. I've listened to several Wehrlen books and it always amazes me that he captures the essence of his characters so well.

This is not a laugh-out-loud book of funny but it does hit the smirk button, especially for us parents.

❤❤😂😂

can someone record this book as a movie?

Life with kids.

I had high hopes for this but and while it was somewhat enjoyable, it wasn't exactly what I had hoped for. I was hoping for tons of laugh out loud moments, but sadly I didn't find many of those. Basically the book is a very down to earth look at what it's like to be a stay at home dad. Were there some humorous moments? Sure, but nothing that anyone who has kids or has been around kids hasn't seen for themselves. I was hoping for some over the top humor, not just everyday life. So while I think there are plenty of adults who will be able to identify with the events of the book, I don't know if they'll find reading about stuff they might see and experience on a regular basis to be all that entertaining.

The book is narrated by Andrew Wehrlen and as always he delivers a solid performance.

I received a copy of this audio title for free in exchange for an unbiased review.

Not so much a comedy, but it is good!!

I thought when i got this that it would be amusing stories from a dad's point of view, but that isn't what i got. Most of these stories i didn't really find as a comedy, it's more every day life and the struggles a lot of parents, not just dad's, come across in the day to day life with raising kids. I liked hearing the real day to day of a stay at home parent, the good and the bad, and that it can surprise you on even with the struggles, being with your kids so much would be missed by the parent. So, not a comedy in my opinion, but awesome!!
