There’s some celebration going on in the Scary Mommy Confessional this week: one reader is finally leaving a toxic job, and another is marking their husband’s one-year anniversary of being sober. But of course, there’s also plenty to complain about. For instance, a husband who isn’t doing too well in the bedroom, and the endless rollercoaster of daycare/school viruses. Oh, and if you’re feeling like life is extra-expensive lately, you’ll find plenty of people here who are in the same boat. Read on for the full roundup.
