description: I Killed June Cleaver is a collection of funny and light-hearted essays about parenthood, encompassing the notion that a mother needn't be an over-achiever, and that whatever works is the way to go. One of the few books to address motherhood beyond the infant/toddler phases, I Killed June Cleaver includes such stories "What They Don't Teach You in Childbirth Class""Why It Takes Mom a Week to Get Over the 24-Hour flu""Laundry Mom""The Children's Car Pool Accord""The Young Adults Return""Mom and Dad Are Doin' It (Or Trying To)""It's Wednesday and I Don't Have Any Clean Underwear"The new model of motherhood in these pages is a loving but human mom, whom you'll never see pushing a vacuum cleaner while wearing cultured pearls. This mom may or may not be a good cook, she's pretty tired, she probably hasn't had time to get a haircut in many months and she more or less calibrates her calendar to her car pool days. Moms today are under more pressure than ever. These humorous essays serve as a relief valve.
