Secrets of a Sarcastic Mother

By Ms. Joceline N. Boutros

As a little girl, she swore motherhood would be her greatest achievement. As a grown woman, she just wants to pee alone.
Secrets of a Sarcastic Mother follows the story of a wired-but-tired woman, from doll-obsessed childhood and strict immigrant parents to infertility scares, a long-awaited birth, and the daily circus of raising two boys in a modern family. Along the way, she dismantles the fantasy of "maternal instinct," confesses the dark thoughts respectable moms aren't supposed to have, and still manages to celebrate the kind of love that makes you pray to take your child's pain as your own.
With war, migration, divorce, special-needs parenting, and school-gate drama in the background-and sarcasm, wine, and sisterhood in the foreground-this memoir offers exhausted mothers a brutally honest reminder: you don't have to be the perfect mom to be the right one.
