Todays pick of the day is All joy and no fun: The Paradox of Modern Parenthood. In this book, award-winning journalist Jennifer Senior tries to tackle the issue of the effects of children on their parents, isolating and analysing 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 of self. All joy and no fun makes us reconsider some of our culture’s most basic beliefs about parenthood, all while illuminating the profound ways children deepen and add purpose to our lives. By focusing on parenthood, rather than parenting, the book is original and essential reading for mothers and fathers of today—and tomorrow.
