SUMMARY:Andrew Bomback reads from his debut Long Days\, Short Years: A Cultural History of Modern Parenting
DESCRIPTION:When did “parenting” become a verb? Why is it so hard to parent\, and so rife with the possibility of failure? \nIn Long Days\, Short Years\, Andrew Bomback—physician\, writer\, and father of three young children—looks at why it can be so much fun to be a parent but\, at the same time\, so frustrating and difficult to parent. It’s not a “how to” book (although Bomback has read plenty of these) but a “how come” book\, investigating the emergence of an immersive\, all-in approach to raising children that has made parenting a competitive (and often not very enjoyable) sport. \nDrawing on parenting books\, mommy blogs\, and historical accounts of parental duties as well as novels\, films\, podcasts\, television shows\, and his own experiences as a parent\, Bomback charts the cultural history of parenting as a skill to be mastered\, from the laid-back Dr. Spock’s 1950s childcare bible—in some years outsold only by the actual Bible—to the more rigid training schedules of Babywise. Along the way\, he considers the high costs of commercialized parenting (from the babymoon on)\, the pressure on mothers to have it all (and do it all)\, scripted parenting as laid out in How to Talk So Kids Will Listen\, parenting during a pandemic\, and much more.
