Whether it's hosing the little squirt down in the kitchen sink or hitting the bar strapped with a baby björn, these guys are on a roller-coaster adventure - parenting like you (and they) have never seen before.Someone once said it is much easier to become a father than to be one. These three guys are about to find out just how true that is.
