From The Confessional: 'I Constantly Think About Barry Keoghan'
From celebrity obsessions to partners who give bad gifts, here's what 21 parents are talking about this week.
Lying about being busy at work, faking tummy troubles to get some alone time, nodding while politely tuning out your husband... these are all things you might not post about on a carefully curated Instagram feed. But they’re perfect for the Scary Mommy Confessional, where less polished (and more relatable) truths come out. Read on for posts about money worries, nasty MILs, celebrity obsessions, and more.
