His sons were conceived in quick succession—the first when the author was a dirt-poor student and the second not long after he'd moved his family across the country to start a new job. As a result, McGlynn found himself colliding into fatherhood as though it were a car accident, at once scared to death and utterly thrilled. Just like many new fathers, he hopes he's doing the right thing—but he's never quite sure.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eOne Day You'll Thank Me\u003c\/i\u003e translates the small, often hilarious moments common among parents of young children, especially dads, into \"life lessons\" about fatherhood.
