The perfect mother...

 


...correctly intuits the after-dinner baked good her toddler will desire and lovingly prepares it from scratch hours before dinner. The adequate mother has a craving for brownies, and whips them up with the assistance of Betty Crocker (with peanut butter chips thrown in just to prove to her family that she isn't a total baking slouch). The perfect mother's toddler is satisfied with the array of from-scratch desserts presented to her; the adequate mother's toddler throws a tantrum because she wanted cookies. The pefect mother doesn't eat the desserts she made, citing her waistline; the adequate mother consumes two brownies (her own, plus the one her toddler refused to eat), citing stress relief.
