You know when you’re a kid and hear about 1950s housewives, all you see is the homemade cookies and aprons and happy kids? Now that I’m a parent, I fully empathize with how repressed and trapped so many of those picture-perfect moms felt — and I think our confessions this week prove other moms do, too. Like, y’all. Nobody held back this week. From the incredibly mundane to the incredibly filthy, a whole lot of moms had a lot to say in Scary Mommy Confessions and they simply could not. hold. back.

Brace yourselves. Pour a glass of wine. Pretend like you’re peeking in on someone else’s group chat. You’ve earned this. (And maybe you’ll find something relatable here, too. Or at least make you feel a little less repressed.)

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.

I need to stop drinking.
