Mothers' hilarious, outrageous, heartfelt admissions

"Sometimes I lock myself in the bathroom."

"I put an educational DVD on so I could have sex. It wasn't with my husband."

Romi Lassally provides a judgment-free zone where women can reveal their mommy misdemeanors. From not feeling like cleaning up vomit in the middle of the night, to barking something completely inappropriate to the children, to wanting to be pawed by hands that aren't covered in jelly, the confessions pour in daily.

Heartfelt and hilarious, naughty and nasty, frank and outrageous, the confessions culled together for this book represent the best-or the worst?-of those humbling hidden secrets of motherhood in all its glorious messiness as improvisation and triage. They dare to suggest that it's okay for moms to make mistakes, to have unkind thoughts, to publicly or privately embarrass themselves-and above all to be human.

A Little Laughter for My Mom

Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2009

This book may be technically considered a "parenting" book, but really its more a reminder for Moms not to forget that they are still people and just because they are taking care of kids doesn't mean that forgetting about themselves is ok.
I heard about it in an interview with the author on NPR and was instantly interested. It tells stories about Moms from any situation you can think of.
The thing that really got me was one women who had gained some baby fat that wouldn't go away and everyone kept consoling her about it. She wrote that she wishing everyone would just leave her alone and stop making it sound like she was somehow less now. She LIKED the way she looked!

But the book isn't just stories, its thought provoking. Like why was Mom snapping at her kids all day for no reason? Well, when was the last time she had a day off? Time for herself? Hell, when was the last time she had time to go soak (uninterrupted)in a hot bath for an hour??

The book makes a correlation between how you can be a better parent by taking care of yourself. Less stressed = more patient.

This book is a fantastic reminder to take care of yourself. Even if its something small like locking the bathroom door when you're using it.

I bought this for my overworked, Mom and she loved it! Relating to some of the brutally honest stories really cracked her up. She could read a little snipped here and there as a little pick-me-up during the day.

I am SO glad I got this book for her!!!

This is a cute gift-book maybe for a mom or mom-to-be, but not really a "good read" so to speak. There is a lot of wasted space. At least 50% of the pages have only one or two sentences on them. There was a lot that I could not relate to since it had to do with hubbies, breastfeeding and what your body looks like after giving birth and I'm single and adopting.

Excellent Gift Idea

I bought this book for my sister for Mother's Day. She is your stereotypical soccer mom, and occasionally she calls me to confess things she's done, always ridden with guilt(I'm the single little sister who sees children as WAY in the future). I saw an ad for this book and instantly thought of her. Ever since she received it in the mail, she has been calling my mom and I constantly to tell us her favorite stories.

The only downfall is that it is a pretty quick read, but that makes it great for busy moms! Between T-ball, soccer, and play dates, my sister finds it to fit into her schedule perfectly, reading just one or two per day. I highly recommend this and I know my sister would too.

I really did love the book. I was alittle surprised in regards to most of the book is actually just a quote on each page. Making this a very quick read. But something I could actually go back and reread because it's so short, and so funny. It's very enlightening to see so many mom's different feelings and stories...I laughed out loud at parts. Very good read, wish it had more stories though!

A funny, short read. Definitely not worth full price.

Reviewed in the United States on May 26, 2011

Each page is one confession, with the sections separated by a page or so of text...so not a hefty read by any means. Yes, the confessions are fun to read, but there's no way I would pay full price for this book. I would have rather seen way more confessions since there was definitely room.

After hearing a radio interview with the author I ordered this book as a mother's day gift for my daughter, the mother of two toddlers. I remember
how hard it can be with two little kids and how exhausting. The book provided a lift, just what I had hoped for. Peels of laughter puctuated our mother's day together!

This book really made me feel like I was normal! We all have days that we would like to run away from home but sometimes you think your the only one feeling that way, not after you read this!

I think this book is really bad, every whole page had about 1 to 2 sentences on it, I thought it was going to have actual stories in it. It could have been about 20 pages long!
