This mildly amusing book, by journalist David Eddie, describes the author's transformation from an irresponsible cad into a stay-at-home-dad. In Housebroken, the author provides useful tips for other men who have somehow been trapped into this situation such as how to cook, how to stay faithful and how to behave like a mom without losing your machismo. Eddie is a freelance journalist who writes for several newspapers and also the author of Chump Change.

Housebroken charts the evolution of one man from unregenerate cad to stay-at-home dad. And along the way David Eddie provides lots of useful tips for other men who have ended up treading the domestic path: basic but puzzling things like how to cook, how to stay faithful to your wife and how to bend your gender without losing your machismo. Above all, Housebroken is a story of the great adventures it is possible to have within a three-block radius of your house, from one of the frankest, freshest and wittiest voices to come along in years.
