10 Reasons Why Mums have Superhero Powers
Being a Mom does make one develop powers that are extraordinary. Many times we find that we are able to do stuff which we never though was possible. It is really amazing how our ability to learn things or do stuff within minutes magnifies once the kids are born.
Here is a list of items which I never though would be possible prior to being a mother.
-
3 course meal
I’m able to cook a 3 course meal with desserts/cakes all within one hour by maxing out all the kitchen appliance in the kitchen and have the laundry run by itself.
- I know how to segregate my thinking and run more then one train of thought through it simultaneously. It comes with having the kids differentiated activities at the same time – English, Maths and piano practice. I’ve learned how to zoom in an micro focus so all three get equal attention.
- I know what the kids are doing even though they deliberately close the door to their room. Mum’s have x-ray vision and a heightened six sense.
- I am able to single out my kids cries in a crowd and can differentiate between which one is needing my immediate attention.
- I am able to make things magically appear even though they have spent the last 2 hours combing the whole house looking for the missing toy. Mom’s have a knack for knowing where every little thing is in the house.
- Be on tab with the 3 kids schedules, appointments, my own work schedule and R’s flying schedule while juggling all the daily activities.
-
Tiger girl being clingy
Know when to be “soft” or “hard ” with the kids so that they do not take advantage of others and learn to be independent.
- Work from Dawn to Dusk so that everybody in the family gets attended to and not forget to have ME time for myself in the process.
- Read books on cooking and baking which I never though I would ever do as I didn’t even learned to cook before the kids were born.
- Decide to give up working in the corporate world so that I can fully concentrate on the family.
What superpowers do you have as a mom?

Moms are indeed superheroes. They can do whatever stuff needed to do for the sake of their kids. Kudos!

This is a good post. 🙂 My mom had all of the super powers you mentioned, and I have some of them, though I’ve still never learned to be a good cook. *sigh*

We moms are TRULY superheros. It’s amazing all we can do. I have a smaller kitchen now that I’m renting, but I do love to cook two dinners at the same time and have food for a few days.

My super power is that I am able to split up a fight in minimal time without yelling 😉 My three kids can get at each other so crazy bad at times that I have to remain calm and be the clear headed Mom to separate them without making it worse. I also am able to cook a meal, wash dishes while entertaining the four year old at the same time 😉
You are a super Mom. All Mom’s are super!

You are truly one supermom! 😀 Your kids and husband are very lucky to have you in their lives. More power to you! 🙂

Hmmm…. perhaps. But I think there are parents who do their share as well to keep the whole family happy.

moms do things auto of love.

I agree Mom’s have superhero powers! Fun post!
April 9, 2013 @ 7:43 am
my superpower – to finish a meal within 5-10 minutes. when the time calls for it (which is pretty often). haha! i used to take over an hour to finish a meal. i’ll never have food in my stomach if i continue to eat like i used to!

I absolutely agree with this: moms have superpowers! Isn’t it hard not to judge our non-mom friends when they complain about how “crazy busy” their lives are? 🙂

Love the point about knowing when to be hard on the kids.
I am a super mom because I got poop on my fingers today and didn’t even flinch! lol!

We are superheros for sure! Most days I wonder how we get it all done!
April 9, 2013 @ 9:52 am
Yes, mom’s and dad’s are superheros in their own special way. By the way, if you were closer I would come to your house for dinner, your meal looks very tasty.

I, too never thought I would think twice or look twice at a cookbook. But a few years ago, I was flipping through the pages of one my mother had given me.
These bullets are so true, and so relatable. Parenting is definitely extroardinary!! It is hard work, but it is worth every moment – good, bad, ugly, funny, cuddly – extraordinary!
April 9, 2013 @ 12:19 pm
Yes, especially number 4. I can tell also which one is crying for being hurt and which one is for being annoyed and which one is for just being a spoilt brat 😀
April 9, 2013 @ 12:40 pm
haha, i like your list…you are indeed a supermom
April 9, 2013 @ 2:20 pm
You are a supermom! Kow tow to you.
Can’t agree more on “I am able to make things magically appear even though they have spent the last 2 hours combing the whole house …..”

@Shook,
thanks 🙂
April 9, 2013 @ 2:35 pm
One superpower I have since I became a Mum, and I think the only superpower I’d ever need:
a Mother’s instinct.
April 9, 2013 @ 2:49 pm
@Regina,
Mother’s instinct is one of the greatest superpower that one can have 🙂
April 9, 2013 @ 3:05 pm
If I may add my superpower, I can tell a bedtime story while sleeping.lol Moms are indeed superheroes. Congrats to us!

Just the other day I went to an event celebrating Momtuition, mom’s superpower of knowing/feeling things are about to happen.
April 9, 2013 @ 10:50 pm
I love how you make them super powers! It’s so true, and it’s a big deal to give up your corporate job, and decide to take care of your kids full time. The moms who do that, don’t get as much credit as they deserve;)
April 10, 2013 @ 5:20 am
I love this, Dominique! We really are Superheroes, aren’t we? 😉
April 10, 2013 @ 8:42 am
I love how you put this: “I am able to segregate my thinking an drive more than one train through it simultaneously.” Exactly! Superhero! Ellen
