“I Would Like To Throw My Husband’s Phone Out The Window” & 34 Other Mom Confessions
Still recovering from the holidays? Let it out.
At any point in a mom’s day, you can be certain that she’s juggling at least three physical things and countless mental things. From stressing about her kid’s birthday plans to wondering if she has enough gas to make it to baseball practice on time to stressing about her own mom group, every mom I know has a brain that is constantly buzzing. So when you ask a mom, “Hey, what’s on your mind?” you need to prepare yourself.
And this week, the moms have so much on their minds. Now that the holidays are done, some moms are left reeling from all the work it took to make magic for their families, while some are already pushing onto the next thing, like a new job, a new baby, or a new birthday. A lot of moms are worried about what 2026 will bring for their families, and a lot can’t stop thinking about boning someone. When I tell you there’s a lot to think about — I mean, there’s a lot to think about.
