BOOK SYNOPSIS
It used to be just the two of you. Now you have a baby, or maybe even a few kids, and the luxury of time—to frolic, talk, romance, and simply hang out—is gone, replaced by a big dose of chaos and the demands of little people who rule your home with small, adorable iron fists.
Parenthood brings changes to your relationship, changes that are at once profound, beautiful, irrevocable, and scary. These changes knock you off balance, forcing even the most secure couples to go back to the basics in figuring out how to define a new version of “we.”
In Blindsided by a Diaper, some of today’s most popular writers dare to tell what it’s really like for couples in the trenches of the parenting experience. They boldly reveal intimate aspects of their relationships, sharing the choices they’ve made, the joy and frustrations they’ve experienced, the trials and tribulations of their sex lives, the lessons they have learned, and how their lives together as parents may or may not be what they were expecting. The writers have quite literally invited you inside their bedrooms, their minds, and their lives as parents.
BOOK REVIEWS
If youve had a baby, are planning on having a baby, know a baby or just act like a baby youll be tickled by the hilarity and touched by the candid admissions contained within. We loved Blindsided by a Diaper and related to it like only new parents can.
-Greg and Amiira Behrendt, authors of Its Called a Breakup Because Its Broken and Its Just a F***ing Date
Most books about parenthood misguidedly focus on children. This savvy collection recognizes what PARENTS need camaraderie, wisdom, humor and most of all, the knowledge that we are not alone in this crazy, chaotic new world.
-Leslie Morgan Steiner, Mommy Wars editor and washingtonpost.com columnist for On Balance, the #1 mommy blog on the web
The stories in this collection are thrillingly honest, laugh out loud funny, and heartbreakingly poignant. Its a must for couples who didnt see it coming and need to know theyre not alone.
-Brett Paesel, author, Mommies Who Drink: Sex, Drugs, and Other Distant Memories of an Ordinary Mom
To sleep, or to sleep with you that is the question we never thought wed be asking. For a new generation of sleepless, sexless parents, Blindsided by a Diaper shines a light inside the American bedroom and genuinely illuminates the state of our unions.
-Ian Kerner, Ph.D., Sex therapist and author of She Comes First
This terrific collection of what-its-like-for-me accounts will stand a treasured source of reassurance, insight, laughter, and hope to new parents in the very thick of it.
-Harriet Lerner, Ph.D., author of The Dance of Anger and The Mother Dance
