'My MIL Is Better Than My Own Mom!'
21 parents share what’s really on their minds
There’s always plenty to talk about in the Scary Mommy Confessional, but this week, we heard a lot about relationships — those with partners, ex-partners, parents, friends, children... and of course, in-laws. Whether you’re wondering about having another baby, thinking about what the future could hold post-divorce, navigating tricky relationships with your (former) best friends, or just dreaming of a vacation completely alone, you’ll see below that there are others on the same page.
Scary Mommy Confessions are a tried-and-true part of what makes our site so fun. If you want to anonymously confess, please tell all through the link here. And if you want to browse past Confessions, head here.
