Moms have around a million things going through their minds at any given moment. We’re wondering where the other baby sock is, how to placate our bosses, how we’re going to achieve her life goals, and whether we remembered to take the damn chicken out of the oven.
And beneath those everyday tasks and worries and logistics are the thoughts we don’t always say out loud: those moments of doubt, frustration, guilt, exhaustion, or confusion that can make us wonder if we’re the only ones struggling.
So, every week we ask Scary Mommy readers to anonymously “let it out” and share some of these thoughts they’ve been keeping tucked away — and everyone always has A LOT to say. Rest assured: You’re probably not the only mom who’s ever felt this way. Motherhood is messy and complicated and exhausting… and far more universal than it sometimes feels.
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, take a look here
