Part memoir, part popular science, and part social commentary, Bottled Up probes breastfeeding politics through the lens of Barston’s own experiences as well as those of the women she has met through her popular blog, The Fearless Formula Feeder.

Desde el nacimiento de la Quinta República el Estado francés ha librado una guerra latente contra parte de su población. Los jóvenes de los barrios obreros que son descendientes de la inmigración poscolonial sufren una repetida operación diaria de "desinfantilización": no son tratados como niños sino como amenazas a la supervivencia del sistema. ¿Cuántos de ellos murieron a causa de esta "desinfantilización"? ¿Cuántos fueron asesinados impunemente por la policía? ¿Cuántas madres han llorado ante los tribunales a sus hijos víctimas de crímenes racistas?

Poco più di dieci anni fa, quando uscì per la prima volta, questo libro – cui seguì anche un blog, tuttora attivo – divenne subito un piccolo culto, amatissimo dai futuri genitori. Il racconto sincero di una mamma alle prese con miti da smantellare e riti da seguire, mese per mese, dal "D-Day"(il giorno delle doglie!) e per tutto il primo anno di vita del bambino, è uno slalom tra errori, fatiche, scoperte e gratificazioni – a volte mescolati tutti assieme – nel tentativo di "trovare una quadra" e ricomporre l'immagine di sé andata in frantumi con il parto.

Ser madre es un vuelco al corazón que pone tu mundo cabeza abajo. Mirar a tu bebé a los ojos por primera vez reorganiza tus prioridades, da forma a tu vida; te lleva a prometerte que harás cuanto esté en tu mano por esa criatura. Pero traer un niño al mundo no implica solo la responsabilidad de cuidarlo y protegerlo; también la de soltarle, cuando llega el momento, y dejar que camine solo, que escoja los senderos que le pida su alma, que vuele libre de cargas sabiendo que nuestra tarea está completa.

Su autora, periodista y niña de EGB en su día, lo tiene muy claro: "Al salir del paritorio, se acabaron las gilipolleces y comenzó el rock and roll. Todo aquello que dije que no haría, lo he hecho. Todo lo que dije que no diría, también".

Aujourd'hui, je suis maman (si on m'avait dit ça il y a 3 ans, j'aurais probablement rigolé !). Une maman pas parfaite, pas stéréotypée. Juste instinctive et décomplexée. Mon quotidien a été bouleversé par l'arrivée de ma fille. Sans prétentions, je partage avec vous dans ce livre audio mon expérience de la parentalité. Parce que les pratiques évoluent, parce que, parfois, il est difficile de mettre en place ce qu'on avait imaginé.

Versorgerin, Businesswoman, Mom I’d Like to Fuck - Mütter sollen alles sein und dabei bitte glücklich. Egal, ob es um Arbeit, Geld, Sex, Körper, Psyche oder Liebe geht: Stereotype, Klischees und gesellschaftlichen Druck gibt es überall, auf Instagram, im Bett und im Büro. Dass unter diesem Druck das Wohlbefinden von Müttern leidet, ist kein Wunder. Mareice Kaiser schreibt poetisch und politisch, faktenreich und persönlich, modern und mutig über Mutterschaft und zeigt, wo Mütter heute stehen: noch immer öfter am Herd als in Entscheidungspositionen. Und, wo sie stehen sollten: dort, wo sie selbst sich sehen, frei und selbstbestimmt.

Ho quarant'anni e spicci e non ho figli. Non li ho, e non ne voglio. Sono una childfree, cioè senza figli, che è diverso da childless, priva di figli. Una scelta versus una casualità. C'è stato un tempo in cui ero convinta che la mia vita avrebbe avuto senso solo quando avrei avuto dei figli. O almeno ero convinta di crederlo... Venivo circondata, o meglio, assediata senza via di scampo, dalle gravidanze di sorelle, cugine, cognate, nipoti, amiche, amiche delle amiche. Se non hai un figlio, nella tua vita di donna, cos'hai?

È difficile ammettere che una madre possa essere inadeguata o violenta nei confronti di suo figlio, perché una madre, per il senso comune, è necessariamente una buona madre.

Questo audiolibro dà voce alle vittime delle madri che feriscono. Aiuta a capire i meccanismi che scatenano il maltrattamento materno e quanto sia difficile guarirne anche da adulti.
