Description: Thousands of books have examined the effects of parents on their children. But almost none have thought to ask: what are the effects of children on their parents? In 'All Joy and No Fun', Jennifer Senior tries to tackle this question, isolating and analysing the many ways in which children reshape their parents' lives, whether it's their marriages, their jobs, their habits, their hobbies, their friendships, or their internal senses of self.
