I just loved this book! Clint Greagen is funny, witty and obviously a fantastic Dad. It is so easy to relate to certain situations that Clint has been through as a parent and you find yourself reading this book and saying ' Oh l have been there'. This book reminded me to not take things so seriously and to see the funny side of a situation as often as l can. Raising children is a tough job....but also the most rewarding. I recommend this book to all parents for an easy, relaxed read. I look forward to seeing what he writes next....teenage years maybe??Product details

Reservoir Dad eBook Clint Greagen Reviews
Fantastic Read! Totally recommend to anyone that has or has ever had a family.
This book offers a funny, insightful male perspective on parenting. Greagen's honest take on the high and lows of family life and relationships is vibrant, engaging and touching.
It was difficult to put this hilarious book down. I thought about it when I wasn't reading it and woke up in the night to reach for it again. Clint Greagen's honest and tender tribute to family life will appeal to anyone that enjoys a rollicking good read and it will resonate with anyone that has taken on a new challenge and triumphed. Greagan's writing is intensely satisfying and his story will bring you joy.
In 2008, Clint Greagen resigned from his job as a youth worker to care for his first born child. Nine years later Clint is a stay at home dad of four young boys, Archie, Lewis, Tyson and Maki, and the author of Reservoir Dad, about his adventures in full-time parenting, first chronicled on his popular blog of the same name.
Written with humour, honesty and love, Reservoir Dad shares the exhausting challenges and unadulterated joys of raising four sons, from the seemingly endless sleepless nights, and a bathroom floor covered in wee, to the smell of a newborn head and wrestling matches in the lounge room. What I admire most is Greagen's obvious dedication to his sons, and his relationship with his wife, the ever-patient Reservoir Mum (aka Tania), with whom he still shares a weekly date night, on a mattress in front of the TV.
As a stay at home mother, also to four children (three of whom were born in three years), I could certainly relate to Greagen's experiences of parenting. I found myself giggling in recognition of the moments of crazy and wincing in well remembered sympathy at toddler tantrums and the lego induced injuries, which happens less often now that my youngest son is 8.
Divided into six parts with short chapters variously named with titles like 'Hang Like A Man'; 'Syncing Hormonally'; 'The Grand Old Duke of...Puke?' and 'A Jim Carrey-Inspired Sex Education' Reservoir Dad is a quick, easy read.
Funny, moving and insightful, Reservoir Dad would be the perfect gift for new parents, both as a warning of what is to come, and an assurance they are not alone.
Reservoir Dad is one hilarious story with a heart. I admit that I am one of those individuals who have some doubts about stay at home dads but after reading this I realized that there is more to it than judging a man who decides to let his wife reach for her dreams and stay at home with the kids.
So many parts are really funny and one of them is how Clint hates how people find shapes in the clouds and he himself discovers it no matter how much he tried to deny it. Another funny part of it is his encounters with his in laws and the way he talks about them.
I admire the moral lessons of the story like how could a guy be this sensitive to things like growing old and one day not being able to wrestle with his kids anymore because they'll be all grown up. Simple things that may be meaningless to others but are so true of people who love deeply.
I can hardly believe what these kids are up to. Not having the chance to have a kid yet, I wonder if they will also be as rowdy as this bunch. Tania and his relationship is also one to get inspiration from because after years of being together, they seem to be still in love with each other and always find ways of keeping the spark alive.
I thorouhly enjoyed this book even if it is not the genre I mostly read because of it's witty lines and remarkable characters. It also has a great flow of events and sychronization. So you not only forget your worries and laugh a LOT from this book but you also learn from it that parenting is "professional" work and most if not all times emotional investment is required.
Made me laugh out loud. I kept thinking that's so true, he takes simple situations and makes them funny simply with perspective
If this book doesn’t make you laugh out loud, you’re going to need a humour make-over! Reservoir Dad is a poignant reflection on raising kids in the modern age of longer working hours, electronic stimulation and the blurring of gender roles. All parents will relate to this stay-at-home dad’s humourous tales of raising four boys in the Melbourne suburb of Reservoir. The memoir is both a moving love letter to his family and a laugh-out-loud entertaining read that you won’t be able to put down.
