TO BE A GOOD PARENT?
Winnicott used to ask us to do things "just good enough". Always thought that such a simple and clear statement was just good enough.

A good parent is so abstract and yet this abstraction is all we have to try and live with in bloggerlands. Such is the hassle of worded-deeds.

But, at the same time, good parents "are worth it".
Is this irony and a postmodern play?

I was an adopted child and proud of it in this way. I was given a second chance as it were. I was parented. Gifted.
Maybe that is what I might say to this question.
Second chances are good.
