preface

In publishing a revised edition,
It continues to be a bestseller in its field thanks to much more interest than expected.
A commemorative book is setting a monumental record.
We would like to thank everyone who contributed to this unexpected success.

I wanted to update the flow of time reflected in the book, so I published a revised edition.
In fact, if you call it a revised edition, it's just a revision of the level of 'Honey, what's different about me?'
For those who had high expectations for the revised edition, it may not be satisfactory.
But it will read better than before.
It would be more useful.
It's definitely a better book.

I was momentarily delusional.
I knew this book was a really good book because it was loved by so many people.
But read it again.
It was nonsense.
As I reread the manuscript for the revised edition, I am overcome with regret.
There were a lot of gaps, and I worked hard to fill them.
But there will still be gaps.
If you think about it, that's me.
Maybe it's not just me.
By this logic, we can never be perfect.
Being a good husband is the same, and being a good father is the same.
That's why we must make an effort.
That's the only way to survive.

Although my writing and life are always lacking in some way, I was pretty cool during my pregnancy.
So much so that I miss the me back then.
I reflected a lot while revising the revised manuscript.
It happened every time I pressed enter.
I discovered the 'current me' who had become indifferent due to exhaustion from work and childcare.
In that sense, the revised edition is personally meaningful.
I need to cheer up.

Since publishing the book, there is something I have heard more than a hundred times.
It was a request to submit an essay on parenting.
It's not that I didn't think about it either.
But writing while raising a child was nearly impossible.
It was even more challenging for us as we raise sensitive children.


God gave us the most beautiful flower in the world.
But that flower was the most delicate in the world.
It seems that young life is as fragile as it is beautiful.
If you give it too much water, it will become overwatered, and if you give it just the right amount, it will dry out.
If you put it in the shade, it will bow its head, and if you put it in the sun, it will burn.
If you just grow it, the leaves will fall off one by one, and if you grow it carefully, it will fall over at the slightest breeze.
Our parenting was a series of situations like this.
But I had to raise them well, so I put all my energy into raising them.
So, I never even dreamed of writing about parenting.


But I think I can write a fairy tale.
My child asks me to tell him a funny story every night before going to bed, so I make up a fairy tale every day, and it's going pretty well.
I think it would be a good idea to publish a fairy tale.
I hope the publisher sees this.
I'll be waiting for your contact.
Finally, I hope this book can become a shard of glass that can brighten the pregnancy of every couple who welcomes new life.
Honey, I love you.
I love you, son.

Smart husband life for a sparkling pregnancy
