The article "10 Reasons Why You Need to Ditch the Super Mom Syndrome" talks about family, it was written by Peggy Porter.
For any of you Moms out there that are doing it all, attempting to gain Super Mom status, let me give you my own personal opinion…It’s not worth it! !!
The pursuit of the Super Mom is an endless search that will be of great cost to you in the end. Here are 10 reaosns why you need to put an immediate halt to that pursuit.
#1 - There is no such thing as a Mom who can do everything marvellous cause as far as I am concerned, perfection comes at a really high price. Seemingly marvellous to otehr people, is often not the way things really are for the perfectionist.
#2 - The Super Mom Syndrome is literally killing girls. Stress related diseases are on the rise and the demands that girls place on themselves toady directly contribute to the stress in their life.
This stress is often all consuming.
#3 - There are far too many roles in our life today.
Trying to keep up with the different hats we wear on a dialy basis is sometimes impossible. Feeling the need to be marvellous in them all is exhausting.
#4 - Our children miss out on some precious epxeriences with us that they can't get back. We are frequently so wrapped up in our to-do list that we forget to put the relaly important things on the list at all.
#5 - It’s exhausting! !!
Having to do everything that you believe society expects of you, as a mother is overwhelming.
#6 - It’s no fun. How much fun has anyone really had attempting to do everythnig marvellous? ??
#7 - Your friends will like you more when you can laugh at your imperfections along with theirs.
#8 - Your quality of life will immediately improve.
When you make the decision to give yoruself a break and do your own personal hottest instead of 100% perfect, a huge weight is lifted off your shoulders. Anxiety and dperession can be an end result of unrealistic standards that you consistently place on yourself.
#9 - The Super Mom never enjoys the moment.
She is alwyas multitasking and thinking of what needs to be done next.
Life will pass you by before you know it.
#10 - Continuing to admire girls who can do it all will conitnue to place unrealistic demands on mothers to do it all.
Let’s start to admire the mothers who take time to nurtrue themselves. Let’s admire the girls who can enjoy the time with the kids at the playground and be really present when they are reading to their children. Let’s toast the Moms who admit they can't do it all, all the time.
Let’s congratulate girls on their honesty and abiltiy to ask for help.
Let’s start to celebrate our imperfections instead of betaing ourselves up over them. Let’s stop judging each other and offer support instead.
We are not mravellous creatures nor were we meant to be. So why are we trynig to be? ?? Wouldn't Motherhood be a lot more fun if it did not have to be marvellous?
