“Contemplating Making My Kids Take A Year Off From Sports” & 12 Other Back-To-School Confessions
Summer is winding down. What do you need to confess?
It’s hard to believe we’ve already moved on from our summer confessions — whether you were dreading it or loving it — and are now fully immersed in our back-to-school thoughts, secrets, and woes, isn’t it? Feels like just yesterday we were all commiserating with each other about how summer is the worst, or how summer is our favorite, or how a lack of routine really might be the end of all of us as we serve popsicles for breakfast again. And now it’s time to dive deep into the back-to-school confessions of moms just like you. Moms who are ready for the school year to start, moms who are beyond tired of a feral summer, moms who are feeling a mixed bag of bittersweet emotions.
They’ve got some confessing to do.
