Yes, I remember Karrie's Good Enough? post and I loved it.
I think I have a strong personality that is very suspicious of anyone telling me what I should be. I don't know if that is the reason I avoided anxiety or if I just got lucky. Either way, I am glad I never fell into the "play the impossible role of the perfect mother even if it kills me" trap.
I left a comment. Who knows how long it will stay up.
AW makes me want to poke my eyes out with #2 pencils rather than read another piece where she carries on. I see she managed to get in the bit about loving her husband more than her kids again. Sigh.
The whole good mother vs bad mother thing bores me. I think the majority of us are somewhere in the middle--we're Good Enough, and just trying to get through the day.

I would love to hear your thoughts on this...
