Not like other dads : a fearless, frank and funny memoir about reinventing the rules of parenting
Szeps, Sean2023
Book
Sean had wanted to be a mum since the age of four, when he fell in love with Mrs Potts, the motherly teapot in Beauty and the Beast. But there was just one problem: he was not, in fact, a woman. When he was swept off his feet by a handsome Australian man in New York City, Sean's dreams of marriage and parenthood suddenly became a reality. The only things standing in his way: outdated marriage laws, hundreds of thousands of dollars and a healthy dose of internalised homophobia. Though he had to battle intense family drama, depression and a difficult move to the other side of the world, he succeeded in becoming a father to boy-girl twins. What happens when the traditional parenting rules, 10,000 years in the making, simply don't apply? Not Like Other Dads is a raw, rollicking memoir about raising kids as gay parents without a map or nap. Funny, fearless and frank, it helps all of us celebrate who we really are... empowering straight and queer parents alike to rewrite the parenting script.
