From Publishers Weekly
Raising children can make it difficult for single fathers to get back into the dating scene. With sympathy and good sense, journalist Fisher (
Mom, There's a Man in the Kitchen and He's Wearing Your Robe) and psychologist Halpern remind men that children are impressionable and easily confused, so proper etiquette is vital. The authors explain how to balance time between kids and a love interest, when to introduce them and how to handle the fallout if things don't go well.
