...never master. There is much doubt, but less guilt. Apple calls American Fatherhood "the longest-running identity crisis of all time," but largely refrains from offering fellow new fathers any advice--though in the course of his journey, he encounters so much nonsense on how to Build Better Children that one develops an allergy to the whole notion of trying to re-engineer them...

(For her to be sweet, he says, "is going to require that you stop snacking on children when they dream.") The Proposal also employs the antique device of the warring couple obliged to act like lovers. Margaret and Andrew have to meet his parents back home in Alaska and sell the pretense that they're happily engaged, leading to many forced smiles and private grimaces...
