“I Want More Alone Time With My Husband” & 26 Other Mom Confessions
We’re tired, y’all.
How are we all doing out there, moms? Hanging in there? Stuffing mini candy bars into your mouth for breakfast, lunch, and girl dinner and then wondering why you’ve got a headache and feel so blah at 8 p.m.?
Girl, same. We’re all in this together.
This week’s batch of Scary Mommy Confessions runs the gamut from sex secrets to the stress of caring for aging parents and everything in between. Whether you can relate or not to the specific confession isn’t the point; there’s just something comforting about knowing all of us are out here trying our best every single day, completely convinced we’re either 100% owning it or 100% losing at a game we never even wanted to play.
May the odds — and your confessions — be ever in your favor.
