[quote=Anonymous]I think it's a shorthand way of asking whether you have what it takes to be a parent. It's not about being fun or a "great parent" it's about being responsible enough to shoulder the enormous burdens of parenthood. There's lots of fun in being a parent, and lots of stress and lots of pain and lost of cost. You have to be able to take the bad with the good and keep going -- do you have what it takes? No one is a perfect parent. I wish I were more patient, I wish I liked crafting, I wish I were more athletic. I'm none of these things. But yes, I think I'm a good enough parent. [/quote]
