Long Days, Short Years: A Cultural History of Modern Parenting Bomback Andrew
How parenting became a verb, from Dr. Why is it so hard to parent, and so rife with the possibility of failure? Spock and June Cleaver to baby whispering and free-range kids.When did "parenting" become a verb?
Today, parents are likely to be up late, doomscrolling on parenting websites. Sitcom families of the past--the Cleavers, the Bradys, the Conners--didn't seem to lose any sleep about their parenting methods. In 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.
