This book is a parenting memoir by Osamu Suzuki, a television writer, who took a one-year sabbatical from his work to focus on childcare and housework to support his wife, Miyuki Oshima of the comedy trio Mori Sanchu, in her return to television. It's a father's perspective on approximately three years of raising a child. The book candidly and humorously chronicles the difficulties and joys of parenting, as well as the realization that **"while I can't be a mom, there are things only a dad can do."** It realistically portrays the struggles of being a "stay-at-home dad," the division of labor between work and childcare within a marriage, and the joy of watching a child grow, addressing the issues and joys faced by modern working couples. This essay is full of empathy and laughter, and is highly recommended for dads struggling with childcare and moms who want to understand their husbands' feelings. Thank you very much.
