“F*cking My Manny, Never Been Happier” & 41 Other Mom Confessions
Wow, 2026 has really been a lot.
What a year, huh? It may only be February, but a whole lot has been happening and changing in everyone’s lives, and it’s no surprise that the moms are clearly struggling with everything on their minds. From sports practices to figuring out how to leave a marriage to dealing with toxic families and everything in between, the moms’ brains are just constantly churning — and you can probably relate to at least a few of them.
Don’t worry: Even if some of these confessions feel a little extreme, at least you know you’re not the only one with a lot of thoughts rattling around inside your brain. Take a deep breath, pour a cup of coffee, and see what the other moms are confessing. (And then, maybe, you can confess something, too.)
