Your salary barely covers childcare, but your coworkers
give you side-eye
when you leave at five. Even if you’re lucky enough to have a partner who helps around the house, you’re still the one who knows when your kid needs new shoes — and remembers to buy birthday presents for other people’s kids.
Today, we’re launching The Mother Load, a series exploring why motherhood in America is more challenging than in any other developed country — and what we can do about it.
Over the next months, we’ll tap the Guardian’s network of global correspondents to illustrate just how much of an outlier America is. The US is the only country in the developed world that doesn’t have mandatory or obligatory maternity leave, forcing a quarter of new mothers to return to work within two weeks of giving birth. The cost of full-time childcare is 85% of the median cost of rent in some regions, leading too many women to leave the workforce to look after their kids. And perhaps most alarming, the US has the worst maternal death rate in the developed world — and the rate of women dying from pregnancy-related complications is actually rising.
If the work of parenting in this country feels overwhelming, welcome to the club.
But as this series will reveal in depth: it’s not you, it’s them. The crushing levels of stress so many parents endure is largely due to structural problems reinforced by our politicians, employers, and the rigid systems governing everything from healthcare to education.
We can’t do it without men. Fathers are important partners in this battle and the most promising solutions will create support for all parents. We’ll strive to show parenthood in all its diversity, sharing perspectives from single parents and adoptive families. But women still shoulder an outsized load of the parenting in America — and the name of our project reflects their unique struggles.
This isn’t a project about complaints. It’s about solutions. We’ll offer guidance on how to share the mental load of parenting with your partner and how to talk to your boss about mother-friendly policies. We’ll look to other countries for lessons. We’ll introduce you to men who are fighting for their right to parent and transforming their workplace cultures.
We want you to get involved. We’re asking our readers to participate in two soon-to-launch columns "My worst motherhood moment", and "How we make it work", in which couples and families from around the world will share personal examples of what they do to share the load of parenting. We’ll publish our favorites. [br] The ultimate objective of this initiative is to______.
选项
A、select well-written articles on parenthood
B、listen to mothers’ complaints about parenting
C、help find solutions to problems facing parents
D、organize parents into a rally for better treatment
答案
C
解析
文章没有提到号召父母们参加集会,所以选项D没有证据。倒数第二段开头有This isn’t a project about complaints,所以可排除选项B。刊登一些优秀作品不是这次活动的主要目的。全文以The Mother Load为中心,说明其背景、目的和内容。倒数第二段有It’s about solutions,说明活动的目的是为父母们指点迷津并排忧解难。
