In the story Me and Jean, the main character is torn by being a soccer mom.
Here is a little something from the book:
I don’t like the term “soccer mom” it is less of a term and more of an unwanted brand, people give stay-at-home moms to make them feel worse about their lives. None of my friends want to be called a “soccer moms”, I specifically got rid of my minivan to avoid the label. Standing up for soccer moms everywhere I would like to say it is a lot of work. What the outside childless judgers don’t realize is soccer momming could be a full time job. First there is the gear, then the snacks, then the fold out chairs, the other moms gossip (it is high school all over again, and I am the weird off beat art kid no one likes to sit next to at games), the meetings the tournaments, it could really take half your day if you let it. I refuse to let it. Soccer you will not win, you will not beat me.
