“I’m A College Professor With A Crush On A Student” & 27 Other Mom Confessions
Is it spring break yet?
If someone asks you, “Hey, what’s on your mind?” right this very second, what would you say? You might want to say, “Oh, nothing, really” at first, but then your brain catches up. You’re thinking about your marriage, about the state of your house, about your job. You’re thinking about your old crush that popped up on Facebook last night, about the text your MIL sent your teenager on their birthday, about the summer camp registrations you have to pay for ASAP.
Because you’re a mom — and your brain is always working.
Give it a little break and dive into the brains of other moms with this week’s confessions. From trying to better themselves to stressing about the state of their relationships and parenting woes, there’s a lot here that will make you feel seen... and maybe a little grateful.
