提倡理性的育儿幸福观

作者在第一段介绍了詹妮弗做妈妈的报道，

< br>之后通过其他杂志的相关报道指出了社会对

生育的鼓励。接着作者表达了自己的看 法：杂志类似的报道给没有孩子的父母带来了压力。

最后作者指出媒体影响下的社会育儿 观，实际上加剧了人们对育儿体验的不满。

It's no surprise that Jennifer Senior's insightful, provocative magazine cover story,

“

I love

My Children, I Hate My Life,

”

is arousing much chatter

–

nothing gets people talking like the

suggestion that child rearing is anything less than a completely fulfilling, life- enriching experience.

①

Rather than concluding that children make parents either happy or miserable, Senior suggests

we

need

to

redefine

happiness:

instead

of

thinking

of

it

as

something

that

can

be

measured

by

moment-to-moment joy, we should consider being happy as a past-tense condition. Even though

the day-to-day experience of raising kids can be soul-

crushingly hard, Senior writes that “the very

things

that

in

the

moment

dampen

our

moods

can

later

be

sources

of

intense

gratification

and

delight.”

The

magazine

cover

showing

an

attractive

mother

holding

a

cute

baby

is

hardly

the

only

Madonna- and-child image on newsstands this week. There are also stories about newly adoptive

–

and newly single

–

mom Sandra Bullock, as well as the usual

“

Jennifer Anist

on is pregnant”

news. Practically every week features at least one celebrity mom, or mom- to-be, smiling on the

newsstands.

In a society that

so persistently celebrates procreation, is it any

wonder that admitting

you

regret having children is equivalent to admitting you support kitten-killing? It doesn't seem quite

fair, then, to compare the regrets of parents to the regrets of the children. Unhappy parents rarely

are provoked to wonder if they shouldn't have had kids, but unhappy childless folks are bothered

with the message

②

that children are the single most important thing in the world: obviously their

misery must be a direct result of the gaping baby-size holes in their lives.

Of

course,

the

image

of

parenthood

that

celebrity

magazines

like

Us

Weekly

and

People

present

is

hugely

unrealistic,

especially

when

the

parents

are

single

mothers

like

Bullock.

According to several studies concluding that parents are less happy than childless couples, single

parents are the least happy of all. No shock there, considering how much work it is to raise a kid

without a partner to lean on; yet to hear Sandra and Britney

tell it, raising a kid on their “own”
