Scary Mommy Confessions

We are well into October, you guys, and the moms are... struggling. I mean, to be fair, we’ve been struggling for a while. But something about 2025 has really pushed us over the edge. It’s been a long year, and the Scary Mommy Confessions prove it. From revealing our secret sexual fantasies to our deepest worries, the moms are headed into the Confession Booth and baring it all.

And um, some of the moms are just letting stream of consciousness take over.

So no matter how you’re feeling this year, whether you’re ready to burn it all down and move to a commune with your kids or if you’re just taking it day-by-day and saving all your confessions for a glass of wine on Saturday, hopefully you’ll find some comfort in knowing you aren’t alone here.

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, head here.
