Why is mom cursing

A humorous novel for all the angry moms

My mother's marriage is in crisis, the children have gone completely wild and the house looks like it has exploded. Only the dog remains her faithful companion.
As if that weren't enough, my mother has found a new challenge in life - working for a start-up company full of young and promising people, which, among other things, makes her worry whether she can get up from her seat bag with the necessary dignity at forty-two and whether she can get away with wearing sweatpants to work. In her new environment, she also somehow (accidentally) introduced herself as a single party queen who doesn't have to run home to her kids, and now she doesn't know how to get out of it without making herself completely miserable...
Can Mom maintain a semblance of independence at work while keeping the family running? And does he still find time for the occasional gin and tonic?
Probably not.
