This book was like sitting down at the kitchen table and sharing troubles with and old friend. Having parents is common, Taking care of them with all the intimate details involved is not. Mark Steven Porro
shared all the victories and defeats, sorrows and disappointments along with making you giggle at
some of the sillier exchanges between he and his mother. This book helps us to appreciate the tremendous effort that goes into caregiving and why we should all look to help lighten caregiver’s emotional and physical load when we can. Thank you NetGalley for providing this opportunity for me to read this book. It’s a keeper.

“All my life I thought I was a slow reader, but it turns out I just needed to find the right book! I started reading "A Cup of Tea on the Commode" after midnight and couldn’t put it down till 5:30 in the morning. I recommend this book to anyone who wants to laugh out loud and perhaps shed a joyful tear, as this memoir explores the humor, heart, and beautiful flaws of family!”

This is a humorous account about Mark Steven Perot and his family’s story from his siblings to his parents to the suicides in his family it all makes for A mostly humorous but at times a sad tail and how in a in a time where people are only looking for what makes them happy and man gave up everything to move back across the country to 10 to his dying mother it really is touching heart warming and so worth reading and I am so glad I read it. I almost didn’t do to the title but was curious enough to read the summary in OMG I’m glad I did. I received this book from NetGalley and the publisher but I am leaving this review voluntarily please forgive any mistakes as I am blind and dictate my review.

Really detailed story about Porro. I appreciated how he crafted this memoir. I enjoyed his story-telling and felt like I was part of his family at times. Thanks to NetGalley for the ARC. Five stars! Well-written!
