'I Don't Want To Have Sex Again But I Want A Second Baby'
In the latest Confessions roundup, 15 parents vent about pinkeye, parenting with the flu, and “vacations” with kids.
We all know little kids can get sick a lot — but for many of us, it’s a little bit of a shock to realize that this means parents tend to get sick more, too. And parenting while sick, well... let’s just say it’s not much fun. Pinkeye? In both eyes? No thank you. And as one reader puts it, “Parenting when you have the flu should be illegal.” There’s plenty of other stuff going on in the Scary Mommy Confessional, too. Read on for what people have to say about sex, pregnancy, summer “vacation,” and general end-of-school-year stress.
