As a fellow Minutia Mom, I can say that the mind creatures that attack my home and infiltrate the mind of my 5-year-old, two dogs and hubby at times cause the sword of common sense to come out often to kill those nasty beasts!! Then, and only then, will they come back to life and be the perfect "Beaver Cleaver" clan I have worked so hard to create!! LOL In my blog, I wrote about supermoms and the perception that balancing work and motherhood is a terrible thing to be avoided at all costs. I loved Campbell Brown's comments about becoming "supermom" and trying to balance it all. In your case, you are discussing the powers that come with exclusivity of being a full-tme mom, which I love and respect greatly. There are some who feel playing career person and mother should be avoided at all costs. I happen to live in that world - full time sales and full time mother. Yes, it's hard. Yes, there are days I wish I could quit my job and be just supermom as a full-time parent only. But, thank God, I am learning to embrace both sides of my identity and now love to wear my cape proudly to those who put folks like me down! (and even folks like you who love being mom and can do it full time) Keep it up, great article!! LOVE IT!!!

While experiencing a stomach virus of sorts, this weekend, I realized that my margin of supporters was narrow. My mom who lives in another state would not hear me. Had she been able to, she would have been there in a heart beat. My husband needed to sleep as he worked in the morning and my 13 year old...well let's just say the dog had more sympathy for me. We are designed by nature to take it on the chin but encouraged to encourage each other to take a moment to just "be"...and then get a "Pat on the Back from ourselves. Well done to me! No need for diamonds or foo foo stuff (which would be welcomed) just a fine Pat on the Back for making through another blessed day! I encourage everyone to give their mom’s a “Pat on the Back” and if you don’t get one…do what I do and wear it myself!

Can't imagine any mom who can't relate lol. The retirement plan does have it's perks though. I can't wait to give my grandchildren a 1-gallon tub of peanut butter ROFL. Another winner Jenny!

Love your writing ... I don't think I want to be a superhero mom anymore - leaping hefty mounds of laundry that are never completed, stopping dripping juice in its tracks and finding lost toys & blankies or yelling about them. It's all too much. :) Thumbs up!

One day, I wrote down every little thing that I did - every diaper I changed, every nose I wiped, every dish I watched, every book I read, I song I sang along with.... I passed it (about 2 notebook pages front and back) along to the sidekick saying "Here's a list of nothing I did today"... Made a pretty big impact on him. And when mom's are feeling less than Super Hero-ish, it would probably help them too. To see what you are doing for your child, with your child and what you are doing to influence them into being tremendous adults will make a big impact on you too. As I said, my kids aren't little anymore (14 & 15 now) and looking back, some of the times that seemed the craziest, when you felt least yourself, you realize were when you were at your best and your happiest. On a side note - do we really have to iron those capes???? YEARS ago (when my kids were still little) I was informed by my not so super hero sidekick that I basically did nothing each day.

I loved it! I think that parents are superheroes. However, moms are much better than dads. Unfortunately, I don’t think that the children and the spouse recognize and value how much the other parent does to keep everybody happy. I would love to see this article printed in men’s magazines just to see their reaction. I believe in what you are saying to the point that I have devoted much of my past three years and much of my money promoting supermoms and superdads. I created a business to honor and recognize your sacrifices. If you want to see how visit my website capellacollection.com Ladies, this is coming from a guy. I loved it!
