“I am all for bigging up the term ‘good-enough mother.’ The whole idea of being a supermother—or even worse than that, a superwoman—is equally dangerous. The idea of being good enough and being natural and being authentic and being human is more important, because that is really the job. The job is to model a human being. I think that this idea of being a superwoman is just as noxious and dangerous.”
-Tilda Swinton, mother to twins Xavier and Honor, tells Vulture, 2011.
