Parenthood between Generations: Transforming Reproductive Cultures : Berghahn Books : 9781785331503 : 1785331507 : 01 Apr 2016 : Recent literature has identified modern ?parenting? as an expert-led practice?one which begins with pre-pregnancy decisions, entails distinct types of intimate relationships, places intense burdens on mothers and increasingly on fathers too.
