“My Husband Gives Me The Ick” & 50 Other Mom Confessions
Raw, totally unfiltered, brutally honest confessions to spice up your week.
Ever have that one thought on your mind that you just can’t seem to shake? Maybe you’ve never said it out loud. Maybe admitting it makes you feel a little guilty. But no matter how hard you try to push it aside, you know it’s there to stay.
The good news? You’re not alone. Everyone has something they’re thinking about — whether it be good, bad, or uncomfortable to come to terms with. Sometimes, all it takes is to hear someone else say the quiet part out loud to realize you were never alone all along. That’s where Scary Mommy Confessions come in (my favorite part of the week). It’s your time to finally let free and get that stubborn thought off your chest... or sit back, read other people’s stubborn thoughts, and realize everyone’s winging it one way or another, no matter how put together they may seem.
So take a breath and relax for a minute as you scroll through this week’s confessions. Some will make you laugh, others will hit a little too close to home, and all of them are proof that none of us are really alone in what we have going on up in our minds.
Scary Mommy Confessions are a tried-and-true part of what makes our site so fun. If you want to anonymously confess, look for our weekly callouts on Instagram. And to browse past Confessions, take a look here.
