The bloggers behind “I Still Just Want to Pee Alone” (the third book in the series) spend a lot of time venting about some of the, shall we say… “less fun” parts of parenting. Because no one likes diaper blowouts or dining with kids in public. But they also realize, if their kids aren’t always perfectly behaved, then the authors themselves probably weren’t dream kids either.

As a formal apology to their mothers, the authors put together a series of their own childhood photos which show why their own moms probably craved some alone time on the toilet too. Although, their moms couldn’t spend that time playing Candy Crush and had to make due with a newspaper or something. So old school!

Here are 29 reasons why the “Pee Alone” bloggers’ moms wanted to pee alone too:

1) “Because I was always stealing her Jazzercise video.” – Amy Flory of Funny Is Family, age 9
