If there is one thing in life that woman should be given credit for is being a mom. It is the single most underrated and underpaid profession in the world. Profession? Yes, Profession! Motherhood requires patience and skills and mom's should be given a gold medal of honor each and every day. These thoughts are not exclusive for woman by the way, men have proven over the years to be pretty good moms, sometimes better than their counterparts. So what is a Super-Mom? Some misguided thoughts are that a Super-Mom is a man or woman who handles everything from bringing home the bacon and frying it in the pan; let's not forget painting the house (why is house painting always thrown in there?). Today's parents have it harder than any generation with having to balance career, finances and family life, but love, the basic key ingredient needed to nurture a child doesn't cost a dime.
The Super-Mom Syndrome, the myth of what it is to be a Super-Mom is killing society. Both woman and men who attempt to push themselves beyond the limits many times suffer stress related conditions from the demands placed upon them. This attitude of taking life and running with it is taking a toll; effected are a person's life, business, personal or physical well-being. Really guys you don't have to do it all, that's not what makes you a Super-Mom. If gulping 10 Red Bull's a day is your answer to keeping up, go for it; We'll remember to send flowers! Rule number one and mostly likely one of the most important; the basic key ingredient to being a Super Mom is giving of yourself. Love your children, teach them, guide them, protect them, communicate with them. Giving of yourself is the key ingredient to being a Super-Mom. Sure they'd probably love you more with an I Pad but tough luck, give them love instead. They will be all the better for it years from now, most likely when your in the grave but better late than never.
