Not Like Other Dads is a funny, fearlessly frank and inspiring memoir about raising kids when the old rules don't apply.
Sean Szeps had wanted to be a mum since the age of four when he fell in love with Mrs Potts, the motherly teapot in Beauty and the Beast. But there was just one problem – he was not, in fact, a woman.
When he was swept off his feet by a handsome Australian man in New York City, Sean’s dreams of marriage and parenthood suddenly became a reality. The only things standing in his way: outdated marriage laws, hundreds of thousands of dollars and a healthy dose of internalised homophobia. Though he had to battle intense family drama, depression and a difficult move to the other side of the world, he succeeded in becoming a father to boy-girl twins.
What happens when the traditional parenting rules, 10,000 years in the making, simply don’t apply? Not Like Other Dads is a raw, rollicking memoir about gay parents raising their kids, without a map – or nap.
'Raw, honest and hilarious ... unlike any other parenting memoir you have read.'
Edwina Bartholomew, Sunrise presenter
'A true modern-day fairy tale with love at its heart.'
Jessica Rowe, co-host, Studio 10
'Through Sean's openness to share his vulnerabilities, we're reminded why it's important to welcome and accept diverse families.'
Narelda Jacobs, Australian Television journalist
