It\u2019s a takedown of toxic cultural norms. It\u2019s a spotlight on structural ableism. And most of all, it\u2019s an invitation to reimagine what parenting could be if it weren\u2019t bound by fear, productivity, and judgment.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"682\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hollywoodjesus.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/05\/JessicaSlice-aff2-dz.jpg?resize=682%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"Parenting isn\u2019t about perfection \u2014 it\u2019s about presence, perspective, and radical love.

It\u2019s visible, perceivable, in a way it wasn\u2019t before.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Slice doesn\u2019t present her disability as a limitation. Instead, she frames it as a lens\u2014one that allows her to see through the performance of \u201cperfect parenting\u201d that so many people engage in. Where able-bodied parents might scramble to optimize every moment of their child\u2019s life, Slice brings attention to the simple, grounding truths of care, connection, and enough-ness.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>WHAT IS \u201cENOUGH\u201d?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In one of the memoir\u2019s most poignant passages, Slice writes:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cIf you look at my life through the lens of your body, [parenting] may seem unsustainable. But my capacity \u2014 for joy, for innovation, for community \u2014 is enough.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">She challenges the idea that parenting must look a certain way to be legitimate. Parenting while using a power wheelchair, parenting without designer strollers, parenting through uncertainty\u2014all of it is still parenting. And, in her case, deeply loving parenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Her choices may defy the conventions of what\u2019s safe or sufficient, but Slice\u2019s ethos is clear: every parent is negotiating what \u201cenough\u201d means based on their lived experience. Her version doesn\u2019t rely on fear or capitalism\u2019s promise of child-proof perfection\u2014it\u2019s rooted in truth, vulnerability, and presence.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>A QUIET RADICALISM<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Slice isn\u2019t out to romanticize struggle. Her honesty about pain, poverty, inaccessibility, and marginalization hits hard. But she doesn\u2019t let hardship overshadow agency. Whether describing the heartbreak of being shut out of a community event because it was held upstairs, or the quiet joy of her son eating \u201cmountain in the middle\u201d ketchup-covered chicken nuggets in bed with her, she brings dignity to the full spectrum of disabled parenting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In the book\u2019s later chapters, Slice draws on her background in social work to unravel how the child welfare system disproportionately targets disabled, poor, and marginalized parents. Through a powerful analysis of mandated reporting, exposure bias, and representation gaps, she explains how systemic structures paint disability as neglect\u2014often simply because it doesn\u2019t fit within dominant, able-bodied expectations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>PARENTING, SLOWED DOWN<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">One of the memoir\u2019s most beautiful revelations is how disability reorients time. Slice describes her \u201cbefore\u201d life as one of perfectionism and striving\u2014traveling, achieving, optimizing every minute. Becoming disabled forced her to stop, and in that slowing, she began to live.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">\u201cWorking to ease my children\u2019s pain, while knowing I can\u2019t, is being alive,\u201d she writes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">It\u2019s in these moments that <em>Unfit Parent<\/em> transcends genre. It becomes a spiritual reckoning. A meditation. A political manifesto with the soul of a bedtime story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>WHY THIS BOOK MATTERS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">In her interview with Anne Helen Petersen, Slice shares the story of Dr. Paige Church\u2014a disabled OB-GYN who describes how prenatal testing and fear-based medical narratives often lead to the erasure of disabled lives before they begin. It\u2019s this &#8220;failure of imagination,&#8221; Slice argues, that fuels the notion of the &#8220;unfit parent.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">That failure of imagination is exactly what this book disrupts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><em>Unfit Parent<\/em> doesn&#8217;t just offer visibility\u2014it demands vision. It insists that we see disabled parents not as exceptions to be tolerated but as experts in endurance, creativity, and love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>FINAL THOUGHTS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">Whether you&#8217;re a parent or not, disabled or able-bodied, <em>Unfit Parent<\/em> will shift your understanding of what it means to care for someone. It reminds us that parenting\u2014like life itself\u2014is not a checklist to be completed but a hand to hold between two words.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\">This book is not a plea for inclusion; it\u2019s a declaration of worth.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><strong>Where to Buy:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.feministpress.org\/\">Feminist Press<\/a>, Bookshop.org, and major retailers<br><strong>Follow Jessica Slice:<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/jessicaslice\">@jessicaslice on Instagram<\/a><br><strong>Special thanks<\/strong> to Anne Helen for her wonderful insight: https:\/\/annehelen.substack.com\/<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator has-alpha-channel-opacity\"\/>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Parenting isn\u2019t about perfection \u2014 it\u2019s about presence, perspective, and radical love.
