Not All Super Heros Wear Caps

When I was growing up, someone always asked the question; “What do you want to be when you grow up”?  I always answered the same way, “I want to be a Mommy” I knew from a very early age that I wanted to be a Mom now of course I did not know at the time that being a Mom was more than baring children it would require me to wear more than one hat sort to speak.

Do you ever feel like you forgot who you are? Do you ever wonder if your dreams that you put on the back burner will ever come true? Do you ever stop and say man I wish I could just run away for a few days?

For some reason over the past 20+ years, Moms are allowing their children to do very little or nothing at all.  Moms are doing it all for them or not doing it at all. Why is that? This is not good for you nor your children.

The saying “Help me help you” comes to mind. You may remember it from the movie Jerry McGuire. So, in teach your children independent living skills do not be afraid to make them put down their cell phones, video games, and shut off the TV so that you can teach them.  With each chore, lesson, and story your child will learn and become a very independent well rounded person in society.

What that means for you is; you did a great job as a parent. You will have more time for yourself as you are not doing everything. You can afford to dream and not only dream but make your dreams come true.
