Earlier this morning, while pouring coffee, I remembered that my 6th grader needed to wear her black shoes for her band concert after school. And then I thought about the orthodontist appointment I needed to make for her, the note I needed to send my first grader’s teacher, the Easter gift I randomly thought of for our 3-year-old, and the spring breaks I need to finalize.
And then my brain was like, “Hey! How come you haven’t seen any friends in a few days? Why do you never show up to the preschool coffee socials? Is everyone mad at you? Is your sex life OK?” and on and on and on.
The point is — the moms are always thinking about something. So many things. It’s stressful, it’s overwhelming, and sometimes it just causes us to dissociate for a while.
And sometimes it has us confess exactly what’s on our mind to the internet full of strangers.
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.
