“I Wish My Husband Took More Pictures Of Me” & 23 Other Mom Confessions
It’s time to let it out, moms.
You know that saying about how we should never judge someone because we have no idea what’s going on in their lives? I honestly feel like that advice should be used every single time we interact with another mom. Not because we need to excuse them being rude or justify them being snappy at preschool pickup, but because we need to give every mom some grace, no matter the situation. She seems really happy? Please know that may be taking a lot of effort for her today. She seems really on top of everything? Maybe she’s working through some anxiety by keeping busy. She seems really into the holidays? Sometimes we just have to keep adding ornaments to the tree or we’ll collapse under the weight of everything else.
And nothing proves all of that more than Scary Mommy Confessions. This week, the moms are dropping lots of private confessions and secrets, and it truly will make you think about every mom you know, meet, and see this week.
