If you’re a mom in desperate need of a breather, look no further than the “Leave Me Alone” sweater, designed to provide that much-needed escape. Perfect for introverts, individuals prone to foot-in-mouth moments, or overwhelmed moms seeking a hideaway from their little ones—essentially, every mom out there.
Ruth Grace Taylor, the creative mind behind this cozy creation, found herself shivering at work one day and decided to craft a versatile sweater that can be worn three different ways: cowl neck, off the shoulder, and the ultimate “Leave Me Alone!” style.
According to Ruth, this sweater offers instant solitude, whether you’re at an airport, waiting for a bus, or mingling at a party. The tunic design can be zipped up quickly, allowing for a private moment when you need it most. Plus, it’s long enough to make pants optional—talk about comfort!
Scary Mommy had a chat with Ruth, and unsurprisingly, the most frequent question she gets is: “Does it come in black?” Classic, right? Ruth is also contemplating adding features like “eye holes,” bright zippered mouths for breathable “leave me alone” mode, and multiple color options, based on feedback from potential buyers. As a mother, I can’t help but suggest that children’s sizes would be a hit, creating a tiny portable time-out station for parents on the go.
The positive buzz online should bolster Ruth’s crowdfunding efforts on her Betabrand page, where voters can help bring this brilliant idea to life. “I want 30!” writes one enthusiastic fan. Another adds, “Due to how easily I get annoyed with humans, I’d love a men’s version. PLEASE?!?” One parent even states, “I’m looking at this while listening to my children fight in the kitchen. I wish I could zip myself up in this magical creation right now.” (Okay, I admit that last one was me.)
Once Ruth garners enough support, Betabrand will take her design to the production stage, and supporters can enjoy discounts of up to 30% on the items they vote for. Here’s hoping this gem reaches the masses, especially as we gear up for the spring choir concert season.
Just last weekend, I found myself in a packed public restroom with my five-year-old, and let me tell you, Ruth’s sweater would have been a lifesaver during this delightful exchange:
Me (holding the stall door shut): Everything okay in there, buddy?
Him (yelling): Did you know if you bend over while pooping, you can see the poop coming out of your butt?
Short of a sinkhole opening up beneath me, Ruth’s “Leave Me Alone” sweater would have been a godsend. With three of those little angels at home, I’m convinced I need this sweater in every available color!
