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 frank emails or standup-worthy interactions with the micromanaging PTA President and the difficult parents. Luckily, she has the charm and wit to get away with it- most of the time. She's been roped into room-parenting 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.
