Being a parent is full of so many ups and downs. One day you’re in tears because you have $8 left to your name before payday and you’re still out of peanut butter and apple juice, and the next day you’re snuggling your babies on the couch and realizing nothing gets better than that. But in between are a million little confessions running through our heads — all the little things we’re too afraid to say out loud, and all the little things we pray we’re not alone in thinking.
This week’s Scary Mommy Confessions offer some fairly relatable secrets, worries, and exclamations, and I think every mom who reads it can breathe a little sigh of relief. (And maybe throw up some gratitude for your own situations.)
Scary Mommy Confessions are a tried-and-true part of what makes our site so fun. If you want to anonymously confess, look for our weekly callouts on Instagram. And to browse past Confessions, head here.
