Drawing from countless conversations with hundreds of mothers spanning more than a decade, What Mothers Do provides lucid insight into the true experience of motherhood and answers the perennial question common to mothers everywhere: What have I \u003ci\u003edone\u003c\/i\u003e all day? \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Stadlen's wise reflections, threaded throughout with the voices of real mothers, explore unsentimental reactions to motherhood-resentment, guilt, splintered identity, crippling inefficiency, and deadening fatigue. Yet the overriding sentiment is one of empowerment and wonder, as Stadlen illustrates how seemingly insignificant skills such as responding to a baby's colicky cry, being instantly interruptible, or soothing an overstimulated child to sleep profoundly contribute to an individual's socialization, self-worth, and curiosity. Remarkably perceptive and heartening, What Mothers Do will resonate with mothers everywhere in search of understanding and wisdom.","brand":"Penguin Publishing Group","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45411564224663,"sku":"9781585425914","price":2161.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781585425914.webp?v=1767443998","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/what-mothers-do-especially-when-it-looks-like-nothing-9781585425914","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
