“I’m Married To A Man But Crushing On A Woman” & 28 More Mom Confessions
Relatable *and* shocking? Yes, please.
Every mom I know has about 8,000 things going on in her brain at any time. The grocery list, the soccer schedule, the weather — but if you ask her what’s on your mind, she won’t mention any of that. Maybe she’ll say “oh, nothing,” or maybe she’ll share something deep and personal. Like how exhausted she is caring for her parents and her kids. Or how she and her husband don’t have sex anymore. Or how much she hates her job, but knows she can’t leave.
The moms are sharing it all this week in Scary Mommy Confessions, and if you need a reminder that you aren’t alone with the constant juggling, read on. Some of these confessions will be relatable — some will be totally shocking — but they’re all going to make you want to commiserate with your own group of friends.
