Sugar Milk: What One Dad Drinks When He Can’t Afford Vodka, Ron Mattocks – Review

By all appearances, Ron Mattocks was leading a successful life. As he drove a fast car to and from his downtown loft and his executive job, he considered himself a good father, even transferring across the country to live closer to his three sons after his divorce. But after an unexpected economic downturn, Ron suddenly began to question everything he knew about success and fatherhood.

After surviving the ups and downs of Internet dating, Ron shares how he remarried, inherited two stepdaughters, and then lost his job, subsequently becoming a stay-at-home dad. In this hilarious and touching account of his daily battles against subversive Care Bears, fire-belching demons, the pancake mafia, and his own masculinity-all while struggling to reunite with his children-Ron provides a glimpse into how he took lemons and created not only lemonade, but a lifetime of memories with his family.

From his highest highs to his lowest lows, Ron Mattocks shares the compelling story of how, without a parenting manual in sight, he learned to fumble his way through fatherhood with modesty, courage, and a whole lot of humor. – FROM AMAZON

FROM THE BOOK FAERY REVIEWS…Ron will have you laughing hysterically as you envision the scenes of his dating experiences after his first marriage, employment and unemployment, step-parenting, and 2nd marriage in his book Sugar Milk. One of my favorite moments he talks about? So many funny ones! His first taste of internet dating, strawberry pancakes and the beheaded My Little Pony smeared with strawberry jam he discovered the next morning, stuffed animals held hostage, and of course sugar milk…after telling my own husband about Ron recycling cereal milk and his internet dating incidents, he too couldn’t help but laugh. Great book that will leave you doubled over!

Let me now leave you with what Ron wrote in my book…

“Life is sweet like sugar in milk!” ABSOLUTELY!!
