Discipline and boundaries

Frustration and separation

Motherhood is a JOB. Anyone - men, women, an AI robot - can be a "good enough mother".

Mother’s main role is to frustrate the child and push it away, allowing it to separate, individuate, and form proper reality testing, get rid of magical thinking.

At the same time, the mother needs to be a safe/secure base: empathic, attuned, caring, loving, accepting.

Prepare the child for physical reality, social reality (socialization), hegemonic culture (acculturation), and skills acquisition.
