This is a funny fatherhood memoir that chronicles how a real man learned to become a real dad without giving up his real manhood. A fresh take on the foibles pratfalls & occasional successes of fatherhood Dadditude" is a rollicking new twist on the "daddy book". Lerman an older dad spins a yarn about his trek from producing " Americas Most Wanted"
- one of Americas longest-running network television shows
- to tackling one of the longest-running jobs known to man: full-time parenthood. Going in Lerman believes that mums are like God
- most of their important work is done in the first week so after that they can rest on their laurels. Dads on the other hand he figures are the Avis rent-a-cars of parenthood always trying harder. But surprise: Even his many years of highly structured management experience have left him unprepared for the chaos that awaits him. Ultimately Lerman learns that good parenting isnt about your gender & that controlling your child is paradoxically a matter of learning to let go. By turns poignant & hilarious " Dadditude" shows that in the process of almost losing your mind you can find your heart."
