Until now, it's been a well-kept secret, but in fact, Supermom DOESN'T have a pristine house, immaculate polite children and a thriving professional life.
No, the real Supermom always leaves the office too early and arrives home too late.
She's also: € Sending her sick child to school anyway, hoping the fever's not so high it will attract the nurse's attention € Praying that multivitamins will make up for the children having breakfast cereal for dinner (again) € Hoping her husband will be asleep by the time she goes upstairs, so she can get right to sleep € Battling her arch-nemesis, the Stay-at-Home Mom in the PTA who keeps asking her to bake for the fundraiser
And that's the dichotomy of the working woman's reality-the twin enemies of time and guilt. Now that Supermom's secrets are out, her life would make a great situation comedy.
The hardest part about being a Homer? You can call in sick to work, send your kid to daycare/school and take a day. Not us, we're it. Oh and as a Homer I've helped many-a-working mom by driving her kid/taking them when the sitter is sick/picking them up from school when they are sick. So shut up. I do more work than you ever do, my life would be way easier if I went back to work! At least I'd get a lunch break!
