Parenthood, we are told, requires a massive adjustment to our
lives, emotions, and relationships, and we have to be taught how to
deal with that. But can it really be so bad that we need constant
counselling and parenting classes? It is a myth that today's
parents are hopeless and lazy: in many ways, we have become too
diligent, too hopeful of great outcomes and clear rewards, to the
point where we lose ourselves in trying to provide some kind of
professional service to our children. The current obsession with
perfect parenting increases our insecurity and distrust of each
other, and diminishes our authority over our kids. This book is
about asking: Why have we invited Supernanny into our living rooms
- and how can we kick her out? Jennie Bristow is a journalist whose
writing focuses on parenting issues and inter-generational
relations. She writes the monthly "Guide for Subversive Parenting"
for the online publication SPIKED, and runs the website named
parentswithattitude.
