Six Thoughts Every Mom Has at Some Point: “I Just Want Some Privacy”
Let’s be real, one of the harsh realities of motherhood is the constant lack of personal space, especially when it comes to bathroom breaks. This very struggle inspired the book “I Just Want to Pee Alone,” along with its two sequels, including the newly released “I STILL Just Want to Pee Alone.” Edited by writer Lisa Thompson, these self-published gems showcase the talents of 40 amazing mom bloggers who tackle everything from the challenges of raising tweens (“An Open Letter to My Daughter: My Mother Was Right and You Should Too”) to the chaos of family dinners (“Flames, Knives, and Fear: A Family Meal.”)
“Motherhood can feel isolating,” says Thompson, a mom of two who also runs the blog Moms Who Need a Break. “If you don’t find humor in it, you might end up in tears, so laughter is key!” Turning the trials of being a mom into something to chuckle about has really resonated with readers. Since its debut in 2013, the first edition of this book became a word-of-mouth hit, even making it onto The New York Times bestseller list—a remarkable achievement for a self-published work.
While accolades from the literary world are nice, contributor Sarah Mitchell from the blog Real Talk with Sarah believes the book’s popularity highlights why blogging can be so fulfilling. “Every mom has her own experiences,” she explains. “Not everyone knows how to share them, but there’s nothing more rewarding than getting a message from someone saying I voiced what they were feeling, making them feel less alone.” Even in the loo.
Thompson hopes these books find a place on every bathroom shelf: “A mom can lock the door and dive into a quick read,” she suggests. “No need to keep track of complex storylines—just a dose of laughter.” What else could a mom ask for?
