DANCING WITH THE STARS: BRISTOL PALIN
7Okay, Good Enough Mother is, without question, at the end of her rope. ABC has announced the official contestants for the upcoming season of Dancing with the Stars
Paying little attention to my own list I see -but what else is new?
As you’ve doubtless heard by now one of this season’s contestants is 19-year-old Bristol Palin, who, unbeknownst to me, is a star. I’m sure she’s a very nice girl, a teen mom with a deadbeat for an ex who says

I DID IT MY WAY!

Good Enough Mother always wanted to write a book but I had no idea what that would be about. I was struggling to be a decent mom and listening to horror stories from my friends who were trying to provide perfect childhoods for their kids when it hit like a bolt from the blue, GOOD ENOUGH MOTHER! Though not a new term (psychologist D. W. Winnicott used it years ago) it was very appropriate for the way I was feeling and the cornerstone of my philosophy, which

THE VIEW: HEARTBREAK FOR HIRE
2This has to be one of the wackiest things Good Enough Mother has ever seen!
Check out this clip of the ladies of The View discussing a very interesting topic yesterday. You see Marie Claire magazine did a story about Hiromi Fikuda – a woman who is known as a wakaresaseya, or a professional “breakup artist.” Yeah, you read that right.

WACKY WEDDINGS
4Good Enough Mother had a little chuckle this morning when I came across this terrific site showcasing ruined wedding photos. Check out some of the funniest pics below… fantastic!

ASK RENE: SEX SECRETS

Hi Rene,
I’m afraid this one is a big one!
My husband Jim and I just discovered that our 15-year-old daughter, Katie, is sleeping with her boyfriend, Andy. I found out after reading her secret diary.
We’re both really shocked as we thought Katie was a good girl and that we had an honest and open relationship with her. I’m so upset that she felt she couldn’t talk to us – and that she’s been carrying on behind our backs.
Andy is a year older than Katie and is a generally good kid (or More >
