The first genuinely positive 'can-do' book about what working parents can do to change the way they live and work, with a particular focus on the crucial role of fathers in the debate. Part memoir, part manual and part manifesto, this is essential reading for all guilt-torn parents who want to have more of a life. 'Better than Calpol' Allison Pearson.
Synopsis
For most families, it remains the ultimate dilemma: how to balance a happy, healthy family life with demands and rewards of work. When Gaby Hinsliff realised that she couldn't continue to work 60-hour weeks, spend time with her child and expect to stay happily married, there was only one solution. She quit, and decided to start again from scratch.
