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!
