‘My Husband & I Lowkey Hate Each Other’
In the latest Confessions roundup, 15 moms reveal what’s on their minds — and the many ways they’re feeling overstimulated right now.
Welp, it’s here. We’ve reached the time of year when we’re just sort of overrun with feelings. We still have a sugar hangover from Halloween candy, and we’re already stressed to the max about the holidays to come. In a word, we’re ~overstimulated.~ And when moms are overstimulated, feelings tend to go into overdrive. Some of us just need a release. Some of us need someone to step TF up and take some of this invisible load off our plate. Most of us are headed straight for the sweet disassociation we’ll need to survive what’s left of 2023 (cue the mom from this week’s Confessional who didn’t even flinch when her toddler took a literal sh*t on her foot).
So, here’s to you, moms: May this week’s roundup of confessions remind you that you’re not alone in feeling, well, all the things right now.
