Features: Marriage is a difficult challenge, and the author Zhang Mengqi is an expert at solving it. First, he is not bound by conventional notions and chooses to walk his own path. After careful consideration, he decides not to work outside the home, staying to take care of his wife and children, doing housework and laundry, enduring the ridicule and sideways glances from friends and onlookers. Next, he manages his own and his family's life well and finds joy in it, while still completing three books (including A Husband with Attitude). Such a person, who disregards all praise and criticism to create an ideal family, is truly a "brave man," not a "good-for-nothing." The author is always known for loving his wife. Before becoming a full-time stay-at-home dad, he was heard to have personally cooked hot soup in a winter night to deliver to his wife's office because she was feeling unwell. And naturally, this brave man's wife is no ordinary woman either. Because her husband is so outstanding in household matters, she is mistakenly thought to be a fussy and lazy wife. This woman envied by other women has accumulated a wealth of grievances, which she wrote in over 4,000 words in the preface of the book, partly to complain and partly to regret not being too indulgent toward her husband. The author has been a full-time stay-at-home dad for three years, and this book provides a detailed record of this unconventional man's thinking methods, practical approaches, and his own satisfaction. The book consists of 3 parts and 9 chapters, including: The Psychological Development of a Stay-at-Home Dad, Household Management for a Stay-at-Home Dad, and How a Stay-at-Home Dad Cares for His Wife.
