Anyone have parenting books they would recommend? Disclaimer: My fiance is not pregnant
Sorry can't really help you there with books.
Just be careful, there is some REALLY weird "advice" out there.Most of it bad to terrible. Just ask real parents for crying out loud.

So you are looking for books for her to read to know how to parent you?
Not I just want to feel like I've done my due diligence knowing full well that I'm going to screw everything up. You know, typical parent stuff.
- Value your Mrs. and your relationship.
- Treat her with respect (make sure your kids see it!!!!!)
- You can do it
- Your kids are tiny versions of you. How did you feel when your parents rained justice upon you? Your kids will probably see things in a similar way. Can you see any value in how you and your Mrs were raised?
- Parenting is a joint thing. Work together.
5b. This also helps when kids try to play the parents off against each other (Mini-you doesn't like Dad's answer --> goes and asks Mum) - Stick to your guns. No means no
- You may see behaviour/personality traits of other family members in your kids. Can be a good thing.
- You are Dad. You do not babysit, you parent. See point 5. Pull your weight. This means you have to deal with Code Brown and not palm it off to your Mrs (also, you're a man not a wimp, lose the HAZMAT suit).
- Love > fury. While your kids may push your buttons at times, take a step back from the situation (I find this one hard). Even if it means leaving the room for a minute or two to chill.
- The instant you see Mini-You v1 (after they pop-the-hatch, enter the world, etc) something will change in you. To me it felt like a switch was flicked the instant I laid eyes on Mini-nadnerB (0.5 seconds after he was born).
I have no qualifications but have experience.
However, I am a Koalafied dad joker -

Eventually @scottalanmiller will learn to drive everywhere. All this running he's doing is going to make him break out with spots of healthiness.
