> Dinah, if we always settle on the "good enough mother" or "good enough" parents, will we ever strive to do what we need to do to be better parents? Don't you think we need to have a certain awareness of what it takes to be a really good parent so that we do not accept just being average or "good enough"?

I think acknowledging that we can't be perfect at mothering is good modeling for our children, who are unlikely to be perfect themselves.
