“I Think About Having Sex All Day, Just Not With My Husband” & 30 Other Mom Confessions
And there’s all THIS *waves hands wildly* happening in the world.
Look, I don’t claim to have all the answers, but as a millennial mom of three who feels a little flustered every morning when she opens her eyes and imagines what’s out there in the world, waiting for us that day, I do have one: Everybody has their secrets. And I don’t mean super dark, dastardly secrets, but just little things. Like when you told your bestie it was fine for her to cancel on you again, but really you went home and cried. Or when you promise your husband you’ll be fine if he goes on a guys’ trip, but then you find yourself feeling resentful and making a list of all the things you never get to do. Or when you have a little grocery store aisle fantasy about your high school boyfriend and even though it doesn’t mean anything, you still feel a little wracked with guilt.
And that’s because moms have to worry and think about a million things all the time. And out of those million, a few of them are going to be random little confessions. Maybe they pop up once, out of nowhere, or maybe you’ve rolled them around in your brain for weeks like a special rock your toddler found on the playground.
No matter what, you’re not alone. And this week’s confessions prove it.
