In an ideal world mothers would have time to hand-sew their kids costumes for the school play prepare all-organic meals and volunteer in the classroom at the drop of a hat. In reality most moms have to settle for plopping their little ones in front of SpongeBob so that they can prepare yet another chicken nugget-based dinner guiltily convinced theyre falling down on the job. In Good-Enough Mother René Syler pulls back the curtain to reveal the truth about modern mothering and reassure time-stressed moms that even if their children are strangers to made-from-scratch cookies they can emerge as happy well-adjusted fully functioning members of society. Mother to two great kids of her own Syler explains how she learned to chuck perfection for practicality -- in short how she became a Good-Enough Mother. She shows other women seeking to balance family work and some semblance of a personal life how to happily join the ranks of Good-Enough Mothers who occasionally serve breakfast for dinner yet give their children plenty of what really matters -- love time and support. Each essay provides welcome empathy and sage advice on navigating lifes different obstacles whether its dealing with annoying Supermoms bluffing through a third graders math homework or coping with the words that strike terror into every parents heart (Your sons teacher on line one). Offering real wisdom tempered with humor and warmth Good-Enough Mother will have every modern mom laughing in relief and recognition.
