The Shift-Work Father is for the man whose week is measured in nights, early starts, and rotating days off—and who refuses to be a part-time parent. This is not a book about making up for lost time in grand gestures. It is a working manual for building a real, daily presence around a schedule that most parenting advice ignores. You'll learn how to map your rota as a family asset, build clean handoffs with your co-parent, create anchor rituals that survive any shift, and make every hour at home count for something your child can feel. It covers practical logistics: childcare that covers nights, emergency red flags, honest conversations about missed milestones, and the harder business of staying healthy in your own body and mind. Every chapter gives you the exact words, questions, and checklists a real father needs—no vague encouragement, no guilt. Written for solo, shared, adoptive, and step-fathering, it treats you as the full parent you are. Part of The New Father Library.
