I started this book the other day, House Husband, which is about this guy who moved with his wife and daughter to Rochester, New York so that his wife could take a better job.

Prior to Rochester, he lived in California and owned and operated a landscaping business. When he gets to Rochester, only his wife has a job, and instead of finding one, he falls into the “rut” of being a homemaker.

Some of the insights in the book are interesting, especially concerning the nature of 3-year-olds. Also, some of the thoughts he reveals about needing to talk to other people so he doesn’t drive his wife nuts are intriguing. But most of the book is drivel, and I can’t imagine any man acting the way this guys acts as his own housekeeper.

I’ll let you know how it goes when I eventually get to the end.
