"The Super Mom Myth" by Becky Koptizke is about the myth's of motherhood. This book was not quite what I thought it was going to be for example perfection mom's and such. However it was even better than I had imagined. I really enjoyed how the author brought up things that are actually the side affects of us trying to be a super mom (she calls them villains of motherhood) such as being a grouch and worry. The author not only tells us details of these villains but also how to get rid or lower our life with them. If you are not a Christian and are not open to the Bible you will not like this book as the author uses the scripture to back what she is saying. I appreciate her use of the scriptures and I also appreciate that she doesn't give us much advice on children that are above the age of her children. That is very nice because if someone has not raised a teenager for example I have hard time taking advice from them about teenagers but I will still listen. This was a good book on remembering that we need to draw our strength as mothers from God not from others. I highly recommend this book.
I was given this book from Net Galley and was not required to give a positive review.
