If you’re a “SuperMom” – a mom who strives to balance home and family with work, you’ll know exactly what Kathy Buckworth is talking about.

If, instead, you’re a “homer” who raises a family but does not work outside of the home, or an “other,” who has no children (and, as Buckworth says, a life), you might still find the humor in the situation described in The Secret Life of SuperMom, although you’re less likely to take pleasure in the book. Any SuperMom who feels harried, overextended, and often not so super, will find solidarity, comfort, and maybe even a little inspiration in Buckworth’s book – not to mention a few laughs.

Discussing, lamenting, or celebrating a wide variety of topics facing the SuperMom, from relationships with homers and thoughts on celebrity moms to never finishing chores and training husbands, Buckworth debunks the myths about the glorified “perfect mom” who does it all with energy and poise to spare. With wit, wisdom, and a healthy dose of brutal honesty, Buckworth tells tales that working moms will relate to and provides advice that will help them get things under control and recognize that they are, in fact, doing a super job.
