"I realized I didn't have enough cash to pay the pizza man," admits Robin from New Jersey, "so I took $20 from my 6-year-old son's piggy bank!"

Krista from Pennsylvania reveals, "On certain occasions when I just can't fathom a soccer game, I've told my son, 'I'm so sorry, honey, but your soccer game was canceled for this afternoon!'"

These are the kinds of shocking white lies moms across the country admitted to the authors of Dirty Little Secrets from Otherwise Perfect Moms, a humorous book intended to help moms cope. "There's this image of perfection that we're walking around with -- the expectations to be a good mom are so over the top," says co-author Amy Nobile. "Learning to really confess and talk honestly about motherhood is the first step in feeling like a good mom."
