Superwoman Syndrome - Perfection Pursuit Causes Anorexia
It seems odd to me that all the attention in this arena goes towards teenage girls. I think it would make for a really interesting study to look at mothers in the 28-45 age group. I think pressure is greatest here as you are supposed to be the "supermum" ie have kids but look like you haven't. I think I have much more pressure on how I look as a 32yo mother of 2 than I ever did as a teenager. Plus I am expected to work and study and run a household and make it all look like a breeze. yeah right!! Also, I wonder how many mothers of young kids (especially at home mothers) are on anti-depressants, have alcohol or drug issues, eating disorders etc just to cope with society's expectations and deal with the isolation factor of not having regular adult contact and seeing your friends daily to chat and get support?
