Book excerpt: It was a last minute arrangement when the phone call came, but I agreed to help out a friend and a night of babysitting was an easy way to make some money. Drew and Theodore were in a hurry when I arrived, so they did little more than introduce me to their son and give me some quick instructions. It was a different story when they arrived home though. They were a little worse for wear and unexpectedly flirtatious. I knew it was stupid to respond to it, but a couple of handsome, older guys brought to life my fantasy and things got out of hand as I gave in to a seduction to let them bed a babysitter.

Download or read book Babysitter written by Miriam Forman-Brunell and published by NYU Press. This book was released on 2009-07-26 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: On Friday nights many parents want to have a little fun together—without the kids. But “getting a sitter”—especially a dependable one—rarely seems trouble-free. Will the kids be safe with “that girl”? It’s a question that discomfited parents have been asking ever since the emergence of the modern American teenage girl nearly a century ago. In Babysitter, Miriam Forman-Brunell brings critical attention to the ubiquitous, yet long-overlooked babysitter in the popular imagination and American history. Informed by her research on the history of teenage girls’ culture, Forman-Brunell analyzes the babysitter, who has embodied adults’ fundamental apprehensions about girls’ pursuit of autonomy and empowerment. In fact, the grievances go both ways, as girls have been distressed by unsatisfactory working conditions. In her quest to gain a fuller picture of this largely unexamined cultural phenomenon, Forman-Brunell analyzes a wealth of diverse sources, such as The Baby-sitter’s Club book series, horror movies like The Hand That Rocks the Cradle, urban legends, magazines, newspapers, television shows, pornography, and more. Forman-Brunell shows that beyond the mundane, understandable apprehensions stirred by hiring a caretaker to “mind the children” in one’s own home, babysitters became lightning rods for society’s larger fears about gender and generational change. In the end, experts’ efforts to tame teenage girls with training courses, handbooks, and other texts failed to prevent generations from turning their backs on babysitting.

Book excerpt: A remote Scottish island might be the only safe place to hide. Martial arts expert Lewis is the kind of bodyguard who slips under most people’s radar. Quiet, reserved, but constantly on alert, he’ll do his job, keep his charges safe, then relax by reading Shakespeare in his spare time. When he’s given a case involving a spoiled celebrity singer, Lewis isn’t all that impressed. The job is nothing but babysitting a pretty boy, and he’s used to diplomatic postings with depth and challenge. What could he possibly have in common with the man he’s being forced to look after? Alex became the envy of many when he and his fellow bandmates won second place in a huge TV talent show. He has more money than he knows what to do with, no life goals, an ex-boyfriend selling a sex tape, and now, someone who wants him dead, or at the very least maimed. Can Lewis keep Alex safe, even when things usually in his control go to hell? Is running to a remote Scottish island the only way for them to stay alive?
Download or read book The Happy Stepcouple written by Rachelle Katz and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2020-02-15 with total page 241 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Navigate the challenges of a blended family with children to fortify your marriage for lasting happiness and understanding. The Happy Stepcouple is a comprehensive and practical self-help book designed to help couples with children from prior relationships thrive despite the complexity of stepfamily life. More than two thirds of stepcouple relationships break up within the first few years of committing to each other. With these terrible odds, every stepcouple needs an arsenal of tools necessary to sustain a loving relationship. The Happy Stepcouple gives them everything they need to navigate complex stepfamily dynamics with confidence and kindness, allowing them to build a happy, fulfilling life together. Drawing on the insights and strategies developed from the author’s 30 years of working as a marriage and family therapist specializing in treating stepfamilies, this work also includes the personal accounts of many stepcouples who describe their stepfamily problems along with how they handled them. Utilizing the most current research in attachment theory, psychology, communication, and marriage and family therapy, Rachelle Katz offers a grounded approach to overcoming problems stepcouples experience by examining the two primary reasons why so many of these relationships get in trouble: Partners’ inability to understand, agree to, and fulfill each other’s unspoken needs and expectations, and communication styles during conflicts that increase each partner’s insecurity levels and weakens their emotional connection to each other. Both of these factors fray emotional bonds—bonds that already are stressed by stepfamily challenges. Here, stepcouples learn how to establish realistic stepfamily expectations as well as identify and modify harmful communication patterns, essential elements needed to strengthen their emotional bond.

Download or read book Bad Ink written by Riki Wilchins and published by Riverdale Avenue Books LLC. This book was released on 2024-07-09 with total page 154 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In BAD INK, award-winning trans activist Riki Wilchins, definitively chronicles how and why the nation’s newspaper of record became the leading national voice for attacking transgender kids. Beginning in 2015 just as A. G. Sulzberger was taking over as Publisher, the New York Times underwent a strange shift: from its long-time support for transgender rights overnight it became the nation’s leading voice attacking transgender kids. In nearly 70,000 words in dozens of articles, it attacked their right to transition, to medical care, to sports participation—even the very idea that they were transgender. It was—as Tom Scocca summed up in Popula— “a plain old-fashioned newspaper crusade,” But the Times’ crusade wasn’t based on new reporting or fresh medical evidence, but on talking points being promoted by white Christian nationalist organizations devoted to eradicating gay and transgender people. And it was timed just as MAGA politicians introduced over 1,000 bills in scores of states to outlaw every aspect of trans kids’ lives. It was all apparently part of Sulzberger’s new plan to remake that liberal rag so it could appeal to right-wing readers for the digital age. And unfortunately, it worked. ******************************************************** "A much-needed book that only becomes more necessary by the day, Wilchins' BAD INK presents an unflinching, clear-eyed analysis of the role the Times has played in reversing the course of trans rights." --Harron Walker, VICE Combining close readings of the Times, robust factchecking, astute observation, and Wilchins’ signature cutting prose, BAD INK is a must-read book for anyone who wants to understand how we got where we are today. --TJ Billard, PhD Assoc. Professor, Northwestern Univ. & Director, Center for Applied Transgender Studies I can't stop reading this book! Bad Ink is the clearest, most coherent dissection of the Times’ decision to trade journalistic integrity for clicks at the expense of trans kids. Every reporter should be tasked with reading this book! --Kate Sosin, The 19th News
