Confessional Rules

A confession is defined as: “An admission or acknowledgment that one has done something that one is ashamed or embarrassed about.” The Confessional is a place to confess the things that you can’t in real life, for fear of judgment or negative repercussions. It’s a place to find comfort in the reactions and support from other scary mommies.

Confessions undergo a brief approval process before they are posted. The following will not be approved:

•  Reactions of any kind.
•  Incomprehensible/text like confessions.
•  Questions or polls.
•  Statements or mundane observations.
•  Confessions broken into various posts.
•  Confessions directed towards a particular person.
•  Complaints or rants.

Still confused? Here are a few examples:

“To my SIL, you are a piece of crap and I hate you.” = Not a confession

“I think my SIL is a piece of crap and I hate her.” = Confession

“The sun is shining.” = Not a confession

“The sun is shining and all I want to do is sit inside.” = Confession
