Product Description
This is the perfect playdate for your purse.
Are you a multi-tasking mom pulled in a million directions by your precocious kids, demanding boss and starved-for-attention spouse? Do you find the only time you re able to steal a moment to yourself is behind the doors of a bathroom stall?

Packed with stories, tips, and even a recipe or two, Peeing in Peace will help you navigate the choppy waters of work, home, and the chaos in between. So grab a latte, enjoy the quiet, and dive in!

 The Book I've Been Looking For June 6, 2008
"The perfect play date for your purse" is how this book is described and this cute, funny book lives up to the description. With quick wit and humor, this pocket-sized book covers working mom and stay at home mom topics seamlesslessly. Lots of fun.
For a good laugh read Peeing in Peace May 6, 2008
Great laugh. A book I could truly relate to. I read a few pages every night before bed and was always laughing. My husband had a few laughs too when I would recite certain paragraphs to him. I enjoyed it so much I wrote the authors a quick note of thanks for sharing!
Will be passing this book along to another Role Mommy who I think will enjoy it as much as I did.
We All Need to Pee in Peace! Loved it! July 5, 2007
As mothers, we all need to pee in peace right? But these gals had the guts and finesse to write about it. I loved the size because I was able to carry it in my purse and read it while getting a pedicure or in the waiting room at the dentist office. The authors are positive role models for women, by the fact that they are total opposites, yet still connect and support each other. Their personal stories made it entertaining, refreshing and inspiring. They mention that $1 of each book sale goes to a cancer foundation, that in itself is worth the purchase... Kudos!
 Very funny, BUT this book is TINY in size! July 3, 2007
4 out of 5 found this review helpful
The book's content is very funny and you will definitely get some out loud laughs from it -- BUT the book is actually only a few inches big. I was disappointed and basically shocked when I received it in the mail. If this were a normal sized book it would most likely only be 2-3 chapters in length. The problem with the TINY (literally doll sized) book is that it's frustrating to hold open when reading. And for any busy mom out there the last thing needed when finally getting a free moment to read a book is to have to struggle with holding the itty-bitty book open. If you are looking for some good reads to laugh about the struggles of parenting try:
1. "The Perfect Stranger" by Lucy Kaylin,
2. "I Was a Really Good Mom Before I Had Kids: Reinventing Modern Motherhood" by Trisha Ashworth & Amy Nobile or
3. "What's the Matter With Mommy?: Rantings of a Reluctant Stay-at-home Mom" by Kelley Cunningham.

The book is funny and clever, but suffers an undercurrent of snobbery. I liked the chapter on both sides of the cooking issue, but the talk about clothes and cars gives the author away. Book is best for moms with more than one child. Not recommended as a shower gift -- might discourage a poor mother-to-be.
