The term most often used is unusual and the first mistake probably lies here, in the unusualness of a meeting in which a newborn was present. The case is on Wednesday 20 September and the meeting is that between the parliamentarians of Action. Carlo Calenda he chairs the meeting and, for part of the meeting, holds Ulysse, the son of the deputy, Giulia Pastorella, vice president of the party, in his arms.
Carlo Calenda published the photo and a video on Instagram with this caption: «Meeting of parliamentarians with a high-class guest. Welcome Ulysses.” Next to the video we read: «How to start your day in the best way». The images have gone viral and this speaks to their exceptional nature, but it also brings back the theme of how exceptional, unusual and unusual these images should not be.
What shouldn’t be unusual? The fact that a man cradles a child, as a first point, but really in 2023 this should be an outdated issue, and, as a second, that a newborn is a guest at a business meeting. This is the question that is also found in the comments. “How wonderful it would be if mothers were allowed to bring their children to work without having to give up their careers.” “Finally someone who considers it normal to have a meeting with a child in this country.” «Children should not be brought to work! We need help for parents, nurseries, paid leave, smart working, an absolutely misleading image!».
Statements and questions that bring us back to the reality of mothers who struggle to return to work after maternity leave, to the lack of nurseries within companies, to the difficulty of balancing private life and work career, career and family. The beauty of this photo should lie in the fact that a woman was able to work despite having a small child with the help and support of colleagues. The bad thing is that it will hardly be seen in other offices. The hope is that it can at least be a starting point for improving the situation of working mothers.
