‘I Don't Know How To Feel Sexy Again’
18 parents share what’s really on their minds

Relationships, from friendships with other parents to our own marriages, can also be harder than we expected. These things, plus kids’ sports, MIL woes, and more, are covered in the Scary Mommy Confessional this week... plus one of life’s age-old questions: “Why are the throw pillows always on the ground?!”
