Able to cook, clean, launder, do yardwork, handle auto issues in reason, handle computer issues in reason, parent, help out with homework/kids activities, shop for groceries all while having a 40+ hour job.
Of course I will admit that moms end up doing a lot of this, but I've seen dads do it or at least a good number of things on the list habitually and they are hardly given credit for it. Other times the wife of the half-super dad or superdad will gloss over what he does and glorify what she does (some of it unimpressive but still cheered by all) -_-.
Personally I'm able to do all of this, but since women don't want to believe it, I guess it matters not. I've even posted some cooking, cleaning, laundry, computer tips and others, but only a few really know about it. Don't know about my parenting ability though.

I don't think anyone can do it ALL and stay happy.
Somethings gotta give.
A 40 hour job, cooking dinner, washing clothes, cleaning bathrooms, caring for sick children?
Unless you have a very cooperative family it's going to get tense.
If you have a cooperative family, then you really aren't doing it ALL. Which, in my opinion is how it should be.
I have no interest in being a SUPER mom. I just want to be a good mom. I wan't to be the best parent for my children that I can be. That doesn't mean being a martyr. That means giving them the support the need to grow up to be good, honest and self sufficient adults.
At some point we have to let go. We need to teach them gradually to get from point A to point B.
If we do everything for them until they leave home, they won't know how to care for themeselves when they grow up.
