Strawberry Shortcake Syndrome

One day while I was driving the van listening to the Strawberry Shortcake movie playing in the back, I realized why so many women feel the need to do everything and be everything. 

Have you ever really listened to or watched one of those? 

In one way, it's kind of awesome, total womens lib.  Girls can do anything!

On the other hand, they are "perfect:"  they cook, sew, dance, sing, own businesses, are pretty, have perfect hair, are kind and thoughtful, etc...   

I love that these shows and movies teach good things, but no wonder a lot of women have the super mom syndrome, it's been ingrained in us since we were children. 

That Strawberry Shortcake...
