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.

Caroline Allard a mis deux enfants au monde. Bien qu'elle les aime énormément, elle soulage son irrépressible envie de défoulement en écrivant des chroniques rigolotes à leur sujet. Son premier roman, tiré de son blogue, a remporté le Grand Prix littéraire Archambault et lui a aussi permis de visiter moult salons du livre, ce qui a pour avantage de l'autoriser à fuir ponctuellement la maison pour s'amuser en bonne compagnie.

Un pregiudizio è un errore che si ripete all'infinito, e i ragazzi ne sono le vittime preferite. La psicologia, spesso inconsapevolmente, si è resa complice di questa deriva, contribuendo al loro inscatolamento all'interno di categorie remote, create quando si andava ancora con la carrozza a cavalli e la speranza di vita non superava i cinquant'anni. Basterebbero queste affermazioni per renderci prudenti sulla pretesa di risolvere tutto con un libro: il rischio di rimanere delusi è dietro l'angolo, perché troppi cancelli, pesanti, si sono chiusi nel frattempo intorno ai ragazzi.

Fourteen years ago, Mike Milligan learned he would become a grandfather for the first time. He was surprised to find that there was little or no information available on what it means to be a grandfather, how to make the most of the experience, and how to be the best grandfather possible. Sure, there were shelves of books dedicated to grandmothers - all with cuddly covers depicting spring bouquets or gentle little lambs. But there was not a single book that spoke to him, a 64-year-old grandfather-to-be. It struck him that there were countless other grandfathers out there experiencing this same feeling of neglect.
