More Moms Are Resisting The Influence To Become Supermoms
Inside Bay Area has a refreshing story about moms who aren’t buying into the stressful life of supermoms.
Flaherty-Evans sought out a mothers group that had a diverse membership. Dobbs turned the other cheek on the mothers who pressured her to push her son to do more activities. And Wilson-Broadhurst recruited women for a moms group in hopes of finding soulmates. Though her first attempt fizzled because of personality mismatches, she tried again, and her persistence paid off.
“The women I socialize with now, we’re concerned about our kids, yes, but at the same time, we’re not forgetting about ourselves,” says Wilson-Broadhurst. “I wouldn’t say I was ever post-partum, but there was a time when I was highly emotional. I was saying ‘Who am I? Where am I going?’ I needed to reassess who I was now, as a mom.
