Yes, @thisismarilynb We do the best we can! A friend of mine once asked if I'd ever heard the term 'good enough mother', and I had not. She said when you give all you have to give...you've been good enough. Love, genuine spontaneous love is true goodness. 💞

I believe the concept "good enough mother" was proposed by Donald Winicott. I think it means babies don't need perfect mothers. Just mothers who can give that which is enough for a baby's needs.

I'm not sure what he thought about fathers 😅
