I just want to say thank you for writing your book. I am a first time dad my baby was born on June 12, 2013 I got the book on my b.day June 17. Your book has helped me out in so many ways. I am still trying to get the hang of everything. I never held a newborn, changed a diaper ect... and between the hr. of 1:00 a.m. and 4:00 a.m. she is wide awake. It really feels good hearing things from a mans prospective. So once again thank you
I am glad you like it. I wrote it shortly after we had our 3rd daughter. I felt like I needed some help, so I thought other guys might want some as well.
I was given your book "Dude You're Gonna Be a Dad" by my girlfriend because we are expecting. After reading the first two chapters all i can think is "dude you need to stop writing". I just want to say that you are a fucking moron and horrible writer. Your book killed atleast half of my brain cells just with the first two chapters trying to dumb down my brain enough to understand your idiodic metaphores. I can only think that your book was written to appeal to a man so ignorant that he has no idea how babies are even concieved, or for a child still in middle school. You sir absolutely suck donkey ass as an aurthor. After concluding the second chapter of your dreadful book i tossed it in my fire place so that i will never again be tempted to pick up this utterly moronic book that is Dude you're gonna be a dad.
Please for all that is right in the world never have another book published. Or better just jump off a tall building to save your children the pain of knowing how idiotic their father is.
so you said in your book " make it clear to your baby making partner that you still expect a hot meal and foot rub upon your arrival home from work". You do realize that this is 2015 and many women, including pregnant women work, right? I'm appalled by this "advice".

Hey John, Go fuck yourself — but make sure you have consent, because based on your book, that might be news to you.
Your literary masterpiece — if we’re calling landfill literature now — manages to turn one of life’s most profound experiences into a locker room monologue. According to you, pregnancy isn’t about creating life together — it’s about the guy sitting back, enjoying the “nice tits,” and expecting snacks. Touching.
Truly, no woman should’ve procreated with you. And your daughters? I don’t envy the moment they realize their dad wrote the world’s creepiest guide to fatherhood. Bravo.
John, your tone in "Dude, You’re Gonna Be a Dad" is embarrassing for any man who actually takes fatherhood seriously. You reduce expectant dads to overgrown frat boys instead of encouraging maturity, partnership, and responsibility.
Your bio makes it worse. Calling yourself a “coach” who gives compliments only “when necessary” and bragging about being “assertive” in decisions sounds more like control than collaboration. And that last line about “installing tracking devices” on your daughters? Not funny. It is creepy, possessive, and reinforces exactly the kind of outdated, sexist mindset we should be moving past.
If you want to guide new fathers, start by respecting both parents and setting an example worth following, not clinging to tired stereotypes under the excuse of humor.
