A fully functioning person with 3 kids

[Wellknackerdmammy]

Recently a friend of mine suggested I wasn't reaching my full potential. Now this friend happened to be male has a job and one kid and a good single dad. I am female, and try my best to be a good single mother. He was non specific as to how I was not a "fully functioning member of society" and to be quite honest, I didn't press for an answer.
I have 3 kids, surely I shld focus my concerns on their functionality? (Hmmm?)

It did however leave me wondering, what should someone be to be fully functioning?
As Carl Rogers' (American psychologist) definition, would seem to suggest a free spirited grasp. Almost childlike and would certainly need major adapting in terms of the role of a parent. Each child requires to be a child, fully functioning, or I think they call it GIRFEC? But each parent is required to fulfil these ever changing surreptitious minefields while unconsciously exposing themselves as "dysfunctional"? "Unfunctional"?.....

So exactly how do [you] people of the wonder web, define fully functioning? And when do you know if you are or not?

Anyway I figured he was the one who had issues, joined this forum n sent this link lol

I have adhd, fully functioning is DD being alive at the end of the day.

Seriously though.

"Reaching your full potential" is about as vague as defining success. I think if you're happy, responsible, and in good mental health you're probably fully functional.

Really, everyone's family is dysfunctional somehow. You're given a tiny little human to raise, with no prior experience, no qualifications, and no book ever fits your situation enough to give any helpful advice. Everyone is winging it. The important thing is that your kids know they're loved, and you do the best you can for them. As long as their emotional needs are met, you can put the "fun" in dysfunctional.

The "fun in dysfunctional" , I like that! Shall try to think of that when I feel very sad about the state of my relationship with h and the kind of non marriage we are modelling for our 3 dc
