Are YOU a Miserable Mom?

Miserable Moms are strong women with a sense of humor who are tired of abiding by “socially appropriate” filters. We love our kids and raise them to conquer the world, while feeling utter dread at the thought of them leaving our nests. We cherish our spouses while imagining how to get away with murder. Like Charlie Brown and the football, we plan and look forward to extended family visits only to immediately pray for them to be over.

At times the raging hormones and realities of mid-life make us act a little crazy, and we’re okay with that. Because we know we’ve earned it.

If any of this applies to you, we’re you. Welcome to the club ... you have earned the badge of honor for being a Miserable Mom!

Reviews

“Sharon has taken her first-hand experience with the daily angst and indignities of motherhood and - instead of eating cupcakes alone in her car - has channeled it into this well-observed and funny book! Her illustrations that juxtapose her comic characters against a real-life background are an apt metaphor for her clever take on what it means to love and let go with a sense of humor... and to get up the next day and do it all over again.” - Eileen Heisler, Executive Producer/Co-Creator, The Middle
