'My Husband Is Being A Whiney Baby About Lack Of Sex'
In this week's Confessions roundup, 21 parents vent about health, work, divorce, and more.
While the Scary Mommy Confessional sees plenty of venting about the lighter side of life — husbands farting loudly, for instance, or all the annoying small talk at sports games — there’s always a glimpse at the much harder moments, too. Like health issues, financial difficulties, and the deep exhaustion that comes from feeling like you have to be everyone’s mom (including your spouse and work colleagues). Read on for confessions about these things, plus rough mornings, career quandaries, bedroom struggles, and more.
