Download or read book Operating Instructions written by Anne Lamott and published by Anchor. This book was released on 2011-02-09 with total page 273 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: NATIONAL BESTSELLER • The acclaimed author of Bird by Bird brings her brilliant combination of humor and warmth to a "smart, funny, and comforting" chronicle of single motherhood (Los Angeles Times Book Review). It’s not like she’s the only woman to ever have a baby. At thirty-five. On her own. But Anne Lamott makes it all fresh in her now-classic account of how she and her son and numerous friends and neighbors and some strangers survived and thrived in that all important first year. From finding out that her baby is a boy (and getting used to the idea) to finding out that her best friend and greatest supporter Pam will die of cancer (and not getting used to that idea), with a generous amount of wit and faith (but very little piousness), Lamott narrates the great and small events that make up a woman’s life. "Lamott is a wonderfully lithe writer .... Anyone who has ever had a hard time facing a perfectly ordinary day will identify." —Chicago Tribune

Download or read book A Mother s Manual written by Darlene Brooks and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The 1st Easy-to-Follow Instruction Book for Raising Children. Expecting a child is one of the biggest turning points of any person’s life. But while the terminology around this happy event can be a bit baby-centric, the process of “having a baby” is only the very beginning. That baby is going to grow into a child, a teenager, and beyond—a unique individual with his or her own needs, wants, and fears. And as a mother, your responsibility is to nurture and give that child the best life you possibly can—to shape the future of your family, and maybe even the world as a whole, for generations to come. Being a good mother and raising a healthy, happy, and productive human being can seem an overwhelming, thankless challenge at times. And if your own parents did not give you a positive example to learn from, the task can be even more difficult. Written by mother of four Darlene Brooks, A Mother’s Manual serves as a straightforward and easy-to-follow guide for mothers everywhere—whether you’re looking to break an inter-generational cycle and give your child the joyful, loving childhood you never had or you’re just looking to ensure a brighter future for the little one you love so much.

Some challenging life situations occur that are vital for us to consider, so I am including some disquieting statistics. Because many women (and men) have refrained from checking within themselves or making an examination on emotional, mental, physical and spiritual planes about having children, hardships have been created, both personally and planetary.

Download or read book Motherhood and Choice written by Amrita Nandy and published by Zubaan. This book was released on 2017-10-02 with total page 358 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How can women live fully? If autonomy is critical for humans, why do women have little or no choice vis-à-vis motherhood? Do women know they have a choice, if they do? How 'free' are these choices in a context where the self is socially mired and deeply enmeshed into the familial? What are implications of motherhood on how human relatedness and belonging are defined? These questions underlie Amrita Nandy's remarkable research on motherhood as an institution, one that conflates 'woman' with 'mother' and 'personal' with 'political'. As the bedrock of human survival and an unchallenged norm of 'normal' female lives, motherhood expects and even compels women to be mothers—symbolic and corporeal. Even though the ideology of pronatalism and motherhood reinforce reproductive technology and vice versa, the care work of mothering suffers political neglect and economic devaluation. However, motherhood (and non-motherhood) is not just physiological. As the pivot to a web of heteronormative institutions (such as marriage and the family), motherhood bears an overwhelming and decisive influence on women's lives. Against the weight of traditional and contemporary histories, socio-political discourse and policies, this study explores how women, as embodiments of multiple identities, could live stigma-free, 'authentic' lives without having to abandon reproductive 'self'-determination. Published by Zubaan.
