Are you a Supermom? Chances are if you are a mom, then you are a Supermom. But you may not feel as if you always deserve that title. Why is that? Why does the cultural definition of Supermom seem unnattainable for most of us? What is our internal definition and can we even attain that? Have we set standards for ourselves and others that are congruent with our commitments to life balance, self-care and sanity? Are we having fun yet? If not, let's do something about it. Let's create our own definition and make it workable. If I created a definition it would include the following: Supermom is not perfect. (Just ask my children! )Supermom forgets that she signed up to bring cookies to the bake sale at times and she does not always have playdates lined up for the little darlings. Supermom definately loses her temper occasionally and then teaches her kids about emotional responsibility when she apologizes and takes responsibility for her own actions. Supermom may not be the best cook all the time, but she makes up for it in hugs and words of support for her children. Supermom needs to work late or cannot be at every school function, but she knows her children well enough to know what is most important for them and then provides it consistently. In my home, Supermom definately finds time to take a nap! Being a Supermom, when you are truly who you are, is so fun! Your kids will enjoy the real you, not the person you feel you should be.
