If you’ve ever been a
room parent or school volunteer, Jen Dixon is your hero. She says what
every class mom is really thinking, whether in her notoriously frank
emails or standup-worthy interactions with the micromanaging PTA
President and the gamut of difficult parents. Luckily, she has the charm
and wit to get away with it—most of the time. Jen is sassier than ever
but dealing with a whole new set of challenges, in the world of parental
politics and at home.
She’s been roped into room-parenting yet
again, for her son Max’s third grade class, but as her husband buries
himself in work, her older daughters navigate adulthood, and Jen’s own
aging parents start to need some parenting themselves, Jen gets pulled
in more directions than any one mom, or superhero, can handle.
Refreshingly
down-to-earth and brimming with warmth, Dixon’s next chapter will keep
you turning the pages to find out what’s really going on under the
veneer of polite parent interactions, and have you laughing along with
her the whole way.
