All too often heterosexual first-time parents are treated as the
unmarked norm within research on reproduction. First-Time Parenting
Journeys maps out what it means to be situated within the norm,
while providing a critical account of how social norms about
parenthood shape, regulate, and potentially delimit experiences of
new parenthood for heterosexual couples. Based on qualitative
longitudinal research, this book tells the story of journeys to
parenthood, highlighting the impact of gender norms, moral claims,
emotion work, and generativity. While drawing on Australian data,
the critical conceptual framework has broader applicability across
Western contexts in terms of understanding normative family
structures and parenting practices. By focusing on expectations
about, and the reality of, new parenthood, it explicates the ways
in which institutionalised norms about parenthood are internalised
and explores what this can tell us about the broader contours of
parenthood discourses.
