The Ultimate Guide for Stay-at-home Parents ~ Robert Koger ~ Wild Plains Press: An Imprint of Cyberwizard Productions

 

The Ultimate Guide for Stay-at-home Parents is a  handbook  for singles, single parents, married parents, and  househusbands=92,   those men who  have chosen to be stay-at-home dads who keep house, tend the children,   and take  care of their spouses, if they have one. This guide is best for those   who know  little of keeping a house and all the aspects involved and of dealing   with  children's routines. Persons who may be knowledgeable in some things   but not in  others will also get good out of using this guide.

 

Robert Koger wrote this guide using the skills   and  information he gathered in personal experience. He covers housekeeping  point by point, suggesting cleaning techniques and supplies that have worked for  him. As  stay-at-home moms have dreamed of home based businesses to supply a   supplemental  income, so has Robert. As a result of this desire, he has researched   various offerings and gives us tips on how to locate legitimate businesses to   become  involved in. He discusses children and suggests parents are an important  part of  their children's lives and shows us many ways in which we can   effortlessly  satisfy this need of theirs. He talks of finances and offers ways in   which expenses can be lightened. He explains how we can budget for inexpensive   ways to  indulge our need to get out of the house with or without the children.   Every  aspect of keeping house, protecting children, supplying children with   personal  time and involvement, being considerate of spouse and your intimate   times  together, all these topics, Robert touches on, giving  wise and  needed  advice according to his own personal experience.

 

Having been a stay-at-home mom, taking care of a  large  family of six children and a working spouse until my last child reached   fifteen  years of age, I've looked into many books covering the subjects Roger   discusses  and I can honestly say that this book is one of the best. The reason I   like it  so much is because I see a man who has come to the realization of what a   wife  and mother who stays at home to care for her family goes through. The  second  best reason is that the entire book is written in an easy style so that   one does  not need a college education to understand what Roger is talking about  and be  able to follow his suggestions. The book is a must especially for the   man that  finds himself thrown into a situation where he must stay at home and   care for  the children and house. Even if the person must work outside the home,   this book  will help her/him be a better housekeeper and, if children are involved,   a  better parent.
