No, I think it's totally unrealistic. Now come on, who is perfect??? Not me.
Trying to be "supermom/wife" will not only put you under stress, but your family, too. They will come to expect more and more, and at some point you may find yourself pulling out your hair, wondering why you decided to do it!
Don't have such have expectations/standards. Do what you can, but give yourself a break. Having a "perfect" home, with "perfect" children, I mean, who really needs or wants that? We're all only human, we make mistakes. That's life.
Of course, I don't mean to live in a filthy, messy house or go around looking like a slob. But if you try to attain perfection, you'll only disappoint yourself, because there's no such thing!
Instead try to be loving, flexible, understanding, have a sense of humor, don't nitpick over little things...enjoy life!

Wanting to be perfect can quickly run you into the ground
If it doesn't quickly grind you down, then it will be a long, slow, agonizing, run-down.
The desire for perfection (of a giver) sets up a situation of developing more perfect takers (never satisfied, never appreciates).
For the sake of all Givers out there, Super Mom's should be redefined from blind givers, to incorporate being great managers.
Manage your staff (family) in a loving manner-- get them involved in the running of the household -- the shared household.
It is a form of tough-love, as there will be resistance of status-quo by both the Giver and the Takers.
But the game is for the sake of the entire family. When the game ends--a fair game--one hopes All were satisfied.
Yes, All -- including You, Super Mom.

Women trying to be supermoms is what's wrong with many mariages. Supermoms manipulate all situatons and circumstances to give the outward appearance of competence and capabilities. In the meantime, the relationship with the husband suffers. Thus, affairs happen. Then all the supermoms feel sorry for themselves because no way did they ever deserve to be cheated on. Whatever. Why not try and be a super wife?

I aim for perfection but we are all far from it. Trying to be super mom and wife is very stressful but thank God my husband is right there to be superman when I colapse. You really need a balance. I mean if you love to do it like I do, you rarely fail.

There is no such thing as supermom or perfect wife. Just do the best you can. Just remember that most supermom's have nanny's and housekeepers!

Is it ok? I guess. But I think it can be super-stressfull. Certainly we can all do better. I think it's best to have balance.
