Desperate Housewives meets Sex and the City in this wickedly hilarious true story of modern motherhood, its conflicting demands, and nostalgia for one’s carefree past.Is it possible to hold onto your old life while raising your kids? And what time of the day is too early to start drinking? Hollywood actress Brett Paesel (Curb Your Enthusiasm, Six Feet Under) draws from her own experiences to explore the common bond that either unites women in friendship or polarizes them in wildly opposing camps.
Each Friday, Brett and a group of her closest friends meet at a local bar. Their lives are unusual yet deeply ordinary. They’re struggling with what motherhood means, and they’re not quite ready for a G-rated world. Brett understands their need to be validated, liberated, and occasionally inebriated, because she’s been there herself. She takes us through pre-natal yoga classes, purse parties, playgroups, and times when moms want to be bad but don’t have the energy—or can’t find a sitter.
Witty, poignant, and laugh-out-loud funny, these are the voices of real moms today.
