How many times have we all heard a superstar (dont care if its movie, music, model) be described with the words supermum or superdad and wonder why. How many times have we heard the same thing about an average person. I would say 100 to 1. I honestly dont get it. Why would a star that has 2 kids be any better than a mother that works 60 hours a week just to put a roof over her had and food on the table. I am sure it is not easy for super stars but some things are much easier for them. Average people cant afford to have people looking after their kids 24/7 or cook or cleaner. And now we have the story of the famous couple that has few kids and they look tired. But hey everyone calls them superparents. My grandmother had 8 kids (only 6 survived) she had to work on the farm, cook for the kids, wash them and clean the house with no outside help at all and no one ever said that she was a super mum. If she was alive today after having 1 child and expecting my second now I would have told her that she was, because people like that deserve the title.

Lol, I don't think those people are superparents, especially the one particular couple that seems to collect children. Yeah, I could look great and have happy go lucky kids, perfectly dressed, entertained all the time, including newest gadgets, if I would make the $$ they do and have plenty of people working for me. It's sooo fake, it's laughable. They are hardly there for their kids. They just parade around with them in front of cameras to make a good impression and off it goes hand them off to a nanny.
But rest assured there are people around that label ordinary people supermom and it's well deserved. I think your grandma definitely appears to have been a supermom from what you describe. Also be aware that superparents don't parade around showing off their title and supertalents, lol, they are too busy parenting;)

Well that is just the thing I cant recall how many times I have heard it "super mum x" or superparents x and z. What super parents ??? Even for the newest divorce case (pop star and film director) she has been called super mum so many times and I just dont see what she is doing that is so great. She buys them things, she takes them places and they dress in super expencive clothes, oh yeah and they will make some shrink rich one day.

They arent superparents dont think there is such a thing its just we hear more about their parenting because they are in the news all the time.
To be honest id not try and put my own parenting on par with any others i do my best and thats it what everyone else does I couldnt care less about
