All Joy and No Fun The Paradox of Modern Parenthood by Jennifer Senior
All Joy and No Fun The Paradox of Modern Parenthood by Jennifer Senior Description
Numerous books have examined the effects of parents on their kids. In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior asks: what are the effects of children on his / her parents?
In All Joy and No Fun, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior tries to tackle this question, isolating and examining the many ways in which children reshape their parents' lives, whether it's their marriages, their jobs, their habits, their hobbies, their friendships, or their internal senses towards self. She argues that changes in the last 50 years have radically altered the roles of today's mothers and thus fathers, making their mandates at once more complex and a lot less clear.
Recruiting from a wide variety of sources—in history, sociology, economics, psychology, philosophy, and anthropology—she dissects both the very timeless strains of parenting and the ones that are generally brand new, and then brings her research to life-time in the homes of ordinary parents around the globe. The result is an unforgettable series of family portraits, starting with as well as father of young children and progressing to parents of adolescent children. Through lively and accessible storytelling, Senior follows these mothers and fathers when he wrestle with some of parenthood's deepest vexations—and luxuriate for that of its finest rewards.
Meticulously researched yet imbued with psychological and mental intelligence, All Joy and No Fun makes us you better reconsider some of our culture's most basic beliefs about parenthood, all while illuminating the profound ways children deepen and therefore add purpose to our lives. By focusing on parenthood, rather than parenting, the book is original and recommended reading for mothers and fathers of today—and tomorrow.
