What is it in moms that makes us feel we have to take on the SuperMom identity? What makes us put on that cape?

If you talk to working mothers that you know, or even examine your own experiences, falling into the SuperMom trap is common. We all know SuperMomfaster than the microwave, more powerful than steel wool, able to fold laundry in a single bound. SuperMoms scare away the monsters under the bed, creates wonderful family meals, as she works, runs a business, or fosters a career either outside or inside the home.

I have tried to be SuperMom, but the cape kept getting caught under the wheels of my office chair, it did not take long to realize that persona was not for me. I was not going to fit into the kind of mother or woman they thought I should be. Now, when I say they, I am talking about, television, movies, the experts, the writers, parents, relatives, friends, and the neighbor next door, there is this exaggerated set of standards that has been generated that women hold themselves to, so they put on the cape to try to live up to everyones expectations.

Being a wife and mother are important jobs; we are the ones that not only carry sometimes the majority of the home and childcare responsibilities, but also the majority of the emotional labor. The hugs of reassurance, the kisses that make the hurts better. We are the ones that cry at night after the children go to bed because our little ones had to learn one of lifes lessons the hard way. We are the nurturers, we hold those little hands throughout their lives, no matter how big they are, we always see those tiny hands in our own. No mother takes that responsibility lightly. It is our job to provide our children with emotional sustenance, and so we put on the cape to give our children everything we can, and everything we are.

We forget that we are womenindividuals; we struggle with the duality of our work selves and mommy selves as the two selves collide in conflict again and again. As guilt starts to overwhelm us for wanting something for ourselves, we are tempted to give in to be Supermom and leave a huge part of ourselves behind. We ignore our own needs because we were taught to give to others continuously and keep nothing for ourselves. We are haunted by the images we see on TV, in movies, maybe even the examples we saw in our lives of what a mom is suppose to be. These images have a hold on us, as a whisper in our head that feeds on the very concept of ourselves. We put the cape on and assume the role to try to make peace with the inner conflict.

Like the famous man of steel, we take on a cover identity, one that is not real, because we sacrifice ourselves for mommy hood and for careers. We get lost in conference calls, paperwork, school plays and soccer practices. We forget about ourselves as we stay up into the early hours finishing work, or sewing that Halloween costume that was not done even though we were on the go non-stop all day. Therefore, we put on the cape, just to maintain.

By understanding what makes us buy into the illusion that the way to happiness is through being SuperMom, then maybe we can start to understand why we neglect who we are and where we want our lives to go. The understanding will reveal clarity, a hope, and a desire to reclaim ourselves, our real selves and not just the mild manner identity that we created. It takes a desire to reconnect with our inner selves, a willingness to abandon the out dated expectations and the commitment to stop trying to fit into a unrealistic mold.

You do not need to be someone you are not. Leave behind the thinking that life is an either or proposition. When we realize we can merge our duality back into one, healthy identity, then and only then can we take off the cape and let our true selves live and find the life we deserve.

Spending an evening together seems like a simple idea but so many things can go wrong and ruin the best of intentions. So plan ahead to make the evening special.

1.The most important thing to do is plan.

2.Think carefully about what your partner would like, what pleases him or her most. The more you think of how to surprise and delight them, the more you will be guaranteed a sure fire winner of an evening.

3.I suggest Love Notes first, text your lover with saucy messages to get them in the mood. If that's not possible leave little written messages where you know they will find them. For her - in her underwear drawer, on her pillow, in her purse. For him - in his trouser pocket, in his wallet, on the car steering wheel. These messages need to be left at least in the morning so your partner knows to expect something but doesnt know quite what. There's nothing worse than thinking all day that you have been forgotten.

4.For the fellas how about putting a rose with a message around the house and giving HER clues to each one?

5.For the girls how about leaving dainty bits of your underwear with a note pinned to it around the house and clues for HIM to follow.

6.Food is the curtain raiser to wet the appetite for things later on - make sure the food is light, simple to cook, could even be eaten by feeding each other and finally have a gooey desert that you can lick off each other.

7.You are now ready for a sensual shower or bath using a luxury bath products. Take your time and really enjoy soaping each other from head to toe!

8.We have talked about touch and taste now go overboard on aromas and make sure you set the scene with candles, room fragrances and his or her favourite perfume or aftershave (not too much just subtle) .

9.Make sure the room is warm and cosy and gently lit - you could snuggle in front of the fire on a rug or blanket with lots of pillows. Tickle each other's fancy with a feather or a stroking mitt, this all helps to make sure your partner is sensationally ready for you.

10.Finally tell each other how much you love and care for each other - dim the lights and the rest is up to you.
