“My Husband Is Passive-Aggressive About Sex” & 35 More Mom Confessions
TGIF, moms.
There are few things I love more than secrets. I want to hear *everyone’s* secrets... not just because I’m nosy, but because I also think it’s just good to let things out. (And let me tell you, I will keep your secrets to myself forever. But I will blab my own secrets every chance I get.)
I think this is honestly such a good practice for moms. We’re all constantly giving so much of ourselves to caring for others that it’s easy for any secrets we have wrapped up to stay trapped inside ourselves until we internally combust. Whether it’s something about our sex life, a conflict we need to air out, or just a thought we’re scared to say out loud, I think it’s important to share them — and the other moms agree. In this week’s Scary Mommy Confessions, 36 moms share what’s on their mind, and you’re going to feel like you’re having drinks with a friend as you read these. (You will want to offer advice.)
