With the end of May comes a bit of relief: All of the assemblies and ceremonies and graduations and pomp and circumstance have passed. Maybe there’s still some leftover party cake in the fridge, or maybe your kids still have a week of spirit days to make it through to the last day of school. But no matter what — you survived. And now here comes summer.
Look, summer as a mom isn’t always easy. It can be lonely (even when surrounded by your children day after day), and it can feel doubly exhausting to clean, cook, and take care of everyone now that there’s no school to break up the long days. And that’s why the moms need to let out their confessions. In this installment of Scary Mommy Confessions, fellow end-of-May moms are trying to figure out how to cope with summer, how to survive their own stresses and mental breakdowns, and how to help their kids turn into happy, thriving people. And literally none of it is easy… but it’s all a bit relatable.
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.
