<p><br></p><p><br></p><p><b>ETERNITY LEAVE: </b></p><p><b>A MUST READ FOR ANY PARENT...</b></p><p><b>FOUR CHILDREN. ONE MAN. HOW HARD CAN IT BE?...</b></p><p>Dear Chloe, Emma, Ruby, and Ollie, </p><p>'I am applying for the position you haven't advertised, has no specific job description and no hope of fiscal reward. I am applying because I have this misguided belief that it will look like it does on the cover photo of 'The Complete Guide to Childcare' where everyone appears relaxed and bright-eyed, not knackered, irascible or covered in snot.</p><p>Armed with a pristine copy of 'The Complete Guide to Childcare', ambitions to be the next literary giant and live off the grid, what could possibly go wrong?</p><p>'Five minutes after Brigit's maternity leave ended I realised the magnitude of my error. I was now the sole carer for two six-month old children who thought the hands smearing yoghurt over their faces belonged to somebody else, and a two-year old who walked for five steps and decided it wasn't for her.'</p><p>I crashed into a world of mainly strong, resourceful, resilient women, a mountain of nappies to rival Kilimanjaro and a widening gap where my self-esteem used to reside.'</p><p>I am a man. I soon discovered this was not an excuse...'</p><p><b>What the reviews are saying ...</b></p><p><b>'Refreshing and uplifting.
