Synopsis

Be top of the pops! A tongue-in-cheek look at how the values and traditional family roles in the 1950s seem oh, so strange now.

Go back to the past when dads were dads, kids knew their place, and life was exactly as it should be! This fun, retro follow up to the bestselling “Good” series (The Good Mother Guide, The Good Wife Guide, and The Good Husband Guide) shows today’s fathers how to be a pal while enforcing the family’s rules. The nostalgic advice, all presented in period kitsch includes making sure to kiss the kids good night, even if they’re asleep when you get home; setting a good example and eating your vegetables even if you, too, don’t like creamed corn; and more!
