Good Enough Mothers, ch. 3 · 1993
Motherhood in all its guises and permutations is more art than science.
Behind the line
What it means
Our interpretation.
Motherhood is described as requiring something closer to judgment and creativity than a fixed technical method. The reference to its many forms resists a single formula. The comparison values responsiveness to particular circumstances without claiming that knowledge or practical guidance has no place in raising children.
