Summary of jennifer senior's all joy and no fun

Please note: This is a companion version & not the original book. Sample Book Insights: #1 Minnesota's Early Childhood Family Education program is extremely popular and unique to the state. It allows parents to leave their kids with professionals for 60 blissful minutes, when they become grown-ups again. #2 Parenthood is the least happy period of adult life, according to studies. The autonomy that parents once took for granted has deserted them, and they are now burdened by children and a lack of freedom. #3 Having children enlarges your life in innumerable ways, but it also disrupts your autonomy in ways you never anticipated. That's where this book begins: with a dissection of those reconfigured lives and an attempt to explain why they look and feel the way they do. #4 The most dreaded parental punishment is making parents sleep deprivation. But most parents have no idea which type they are until their kids come along: those who handle it fairly well, those who sort of fall apart, and those who respond catastrophically.
