About this listen
Finally, a definitive guide to succeeding as a single dad. Raising kids without a partner could very well be the most challenging responsibility you’ll ever have to take on in your life. How do you juggle your job, chores, appointments, errands, and so on without getting overwhelmed constantly? And those are just the essentials. You need to stay on top of other important aspects to maintain a safe and nurturing family environment.
In the United States, divorce is the most common reason men become single parents, followed by separation and having never been married. Single fathers make up only 17 percent of all single-parent households. That’s much lower compared to the figures for single mothers. No wonder books and other resources about single parenting are mostly geared toward single moms. But that’s about to change, starting with this thoughtful guide for single fathers. Regardless of the reason for being a single parent, you’ll find it genuinely and incredibly helpful.
Even in this modern age, many still cling to the ancient belief that a man is born to hunt, not to look after a dwelling. But here’s the thing: what you’ll learn here will make parenting feel like second nature. So don’t start doubting yourself now. Instead, focus on what should turn out to be the most rewarding job you’ll ever take on in your life. If you’re ready to explore single fatherhood from a calm, practical, and caring perspective, then download this audiobook today.

Story
Of all the worldly experiences, nothing beats being a dad! But to enjoy this momentous new role to the max, you’re going to need some indispensable advice…from a man! For moms, there are a ton of books preparing them for every change and every stage. Let’s face it, the only set of instructions men get is the one in the pregnancy test. To make the process less daunting, you need to know exactly what new responsibilities you will have and what challenges lay ahead of you. This is why a dad of three has put together the man’s manual on pregnancy, babies, and toddlers.

Story
From changing diapers to putting away toys, some parental jobs can be shared–but there is one that only you can master: the dad jokes! Little people are easy to entertain. They will laugh at the cheesy pizza joke that we have all heard a million times. But as children grow up, dads have to up their humor game. Your child might be able to watch their favorite movie a hundred times, but a dad joke can go from funny to old in less than a week. Traditionally, dad jokes will range from hilarious to an eye-rolling cringe. And told the right way to a group, you can get all the reactions in between.

A Valuable Resource!
My younger brother is a newly divorced single dad, so I listened to this book hoping to help guide him through all the challenges he now faces. This book discusses time management, finances, and scheduling tips, and it also touches on the importance of taking care of yourself so you can be the best dad possible. This includes how to re-enter the dating scene, incorporate fun and relaxation with your kids, and deal with your kids' grief. I will be purchasing this book for my brother on Amazon! Thank you Alfie!

A must have for any single father
Alfie Thomas does a great job in his survival guide for single fathers raising kids. Obviously, this is a very difficult topic, because there are so many aspects of raising kids as a single father. Thomas covers it all. From finances, time management, disciplining your kids, and introducing them to a new mother. The author is extremely thorough and gives advice and solutions to the many trials that will come up. He even covers special circumstances such as being a dad with a son only, a daughter only, and even a child with special needs. I think he also does a good job of pointing out that as a single father, we will need help from people and gives great advice on how to ask for this and who to ask from. I highly recommend this for all dad’s, single or not, as they are raising kids.

Perfect guide for single dads
I recently listened to the audiobook "Single Dad Parenting Like a Pro: A Survival Guide for Single Fathers with Kids" and I have to say, it was amazing! First of all, the narrator Helpful Matthew was fantastic, his voice was engaging and made the book a pleasure to listen to.
But what I really loved about this book was the focus on mindset. My friend, who recently became a single dad, often talks about how easy it can be to get bogged down in the challenges and difficulties of parenting alone, but this book helped learn some new techniques to help my friend shift his perspective and focus on the positive aspects of his situation.
The worksheets provided in the book were also incredibly helpful for him as well. They helped him get organized and feel more in control during a difficult time.
I also appreciated the inclusion of quotes from other dads, it help me understand more of what my friend is going through in a different way than how he explains things. And the running storyline of Darnell, the author's brother who had lost his wife to COVID, was incredibly moving and inspiring.
I had never heard of "Leveler-mode" before, but it was an interesting perspective for divorced dads. And the time management and home management strategies presented in the book are not only great for single dads, but for anyone looking to get more organized and efficient in their daily life.
Overall, I would highly recommend this book to any single dad out there looking for guidance and inspiration.
