Here is how the Super-Mom-wannabe thinks: "I will be able to do many things with my baby: meet my friends for lunch, do my morning gym class, continue working with the same schedule, see the latest movies."
But Super Moms don't exist... well maybe there's a few out there, but that many, and some suspect that they are not really human, just some aliens sent on Earth to make the rest of us feel bad!
There is no secret: if you want to double-duty as a mom and a ___ (fill in the blanks) then you need help. Whether it's your spouse, a babysitter, you own mom, you need someone to help you juggle with all these activities. Or you need to make some sacrifices - have you heard of Netflix? :-)
I thought I was 'Super Mom", boy was I wrong! I have no family nor friends here, and it is quite hard being a mom. I do everything with the help from my husband. Thank god for him,, or I would be drowning. I take in alot of water still, but I am doing better.

I think I am suffering from the super mom delusion. Its so hard to come to terms with the fact that things have changed. I seem to wake up everyday thinking I will get the laundry done, clean my room, go see a friend, just be productive in some kind of way. Then to my surprise, at 1pm I am wondering when am I going to get in the shower. Oh, but he's crying again, its time to feed again. One day I will come out of denial. Thanks for helping me along.
I have been so greatful to have the help of my fiance. The first few months I felt like a super mom things changed only after a few days. ANy noise wakes me up from sleep now even if its not my sons cry.
