Praise for Who Cares About Parents? Published November 2025 with the series Carework in a Changing World, Rutgers University Press:

“In this rich analysis, Price-Glynn draws our attention to intersectional inequalities visible within parenting groups, while identifying efforts to engage in inclusive and strategic parenting and advocacy. Price-Glynn makes critical contributions to care scholarship and sociology with her thoughtful, hopeful book.” ~Joya Misra, coauthor of Walking Mannequins: How Race and Gender Inequalities Shape Retail Clothing Work

Who Cares About Parents? provides a fascinating examination of how moms and dads seek friendship, practical support, and solidarity, while also practicing “strategic parenting” to advocate for social change via parenting groups. Crucially, Price-Glynn’s exquisitely crafted research demonstrates how parenting support strategies often backfire, creating additional pressures on individual parents and families. ~Sarah Damaske, author of The Tolls of Uncertainty: How Privilege and the Guilt Gap Shape Unemployment in America
