Some Asses Just Need Wiping
For every woman who’s ever carried the weight of others while losing pieces of herself — this book is for you.

Some Asses Just Need Wiping is a raw, unflinching memoir that pulls back the curtain on the emotional toll of lifelong caregiving. From parenting her chronically ill mother as a child to emotionally supporting a mentally ill ex-husband, raising two young boys as a single mother, and having one son diagnosed as neurodivergent, Shelly Grimm has lived through—and risen from—it all.

If you’re part of the sandwich generation, caring for aging parents while raising children, this book will help you feel seen, heard, and validated.

In these pages, you’ll discover:

The invisible trauma children of chronically ill parents carry for decades
The generational cost of unacknowledged caregiving roles
What “help” actually looks like when someone’s drowning quietly
Ways to support caregivers (especially kids) before it’s too late
Packed with stories that are brutally honest and laced with dark humor, Shelly shares lessons that will resonate with anyone who’s ever felt invisible while doing the impossible.

Whether you’re a caregiver, survivor, or both—this book is your wake-up call, validation, and lifeline all in one.

Read it, feel it, and be changed by it.
