Is it possible to be considered a good parent today if your top priority is not perfecting your children, but rather simply being their "safe place"? I don't know the answer, but it seems to me that being a warm and loving parent that children feel safe with is both a worthy and challenging goal. I have often reflected that many of my worst parenting mistakes happened when I tried to convince my kids to be other than the people they are.

Understanding homemaking as a craft that produces beautiful (if intangible) results should hopefully encourage young men and women who are thinking about caring for a home and/or children. For the young mother or father overwhelmed by all there is to do and feeling incompetent in the face of the multiple - often conflicting - demands of house and children, it may help to know that homemaking is a skill to be developed over time.
