The SuperMom Myth


Book Description

"This book isn't about raising kids. It's about raising Moms. . ." says author, speaker, blogger, lunch packer, and sidewalk chalk artist Becky Kopitzke. In a Pinterest-perfect culture, you've likely sensed an accelerated pressure to measure up. Then you either weigh yourself down with guilt or become resigned--desensitized, even--to this so-called failure. The Supermom Myth--with humor and grace, yet all the while maintaining a firm grasp on reality--aims to empower you to become the mom God created you to be. With 8 chapters, each personifying a "dirty villain" of motherhood, including The Grouch on the Couch (Anger), Worry Woman (Fear), and The Calendar Queen (Busyness), Kopitzke offers a gentle reminder to rest in the super power of our grace-filled God.

Supermom


Book Description

Today more than ever, having children means coming to grips with constantly rising expenses and with the fact that Mom almost always needs to work outside the home. That, in turn, means that Mom has to deploy her forces along a hundred different fronts. This book is a guide - based on Tiziana Rocca's experiences as a wife, mother, and director of a highly successful public-relations firm. "Like all mothers," Rocca writes, "my days are spent performing somersaults as I divide my time and energy between family and work. I've always got a million things to do, and each day is an obstacle course." Notwithstanding these difficulties, Rocca believes that Mom (with a capital M!) is the cornerstone of the entire family structure, essential to children's emotional and cognitive development. She writes with compassion, humor, and conviction about the unique strength of women and mothers: the power to "never give up and never give in."

The Juggling Mother


Book Description

Who is the juggling mother, the woman who quietly flicks dried cereal off her blazer while running a corporate empire? The Juggling Mother explores this figure of contemporary mothering in media representations: a typically white, middle-class woman on the verge of coming undone because of her unwieldy slate of labours. Mothers who frantically juggle paid and unpaid work demands do not threaten the way labour is organized. In fact, as Amanda Watson demonstrates, they are model neoliberal workers who uphold white privilege – along with ableist notions of mastery, capacity, and productivity – because of a desire for political visibility and social inclusion. The Juggling Mother makes the controversial case that unfair labour distributions are publicly celebrated, intentionally performed, and intimately felt. Mothers with the most power are thus complicit in the exclusion of less privileged ones – and in their own undoing.
