“This is Margaret, she has four kids, can you believe that?!”
That is how I am introduced to people these days. This is always followed by “wow, you are amazing,” or some sort of compliment with the word “super mom” thrown in there.
I hate the word “super mom.”
While maybe some people would love hearing all of these responses, it makes me feel very
Yes, I have four children, but, no, I am not a super mom … I am super tired, though. And some days, I feel like I and doing this parenting thing super wrong. My kids are often super misbehaved and running around with no shoes, so they are often super dirty. My husband and I also have some super miscommunication issues from time to time. I am just as super stressed as you are, momma of one and two, no more, no less, no better.
