The January Confessions Are In & The Moms Are Fed Up
In the latest Confessions roundup, 35 moms share all their January woes and struggles.
January is always a month that seems to last ages, but January 2025 has been particularly long in the teeth. From all the stress surrounding the LA wildfires, sicknesses, and the (what feels like) hundreds of snow days and bleak winter weather, it’s easy to see why the moms are extremely fed up. In this month’s confessions, the moms are stressing financially (and getting real creative about how to fix those money issues), they’re disassociating completely, and they’re ready to abandon the families they love so much if there’s one more snow day this year.
So grab a cup of coffee, and get scrolling. You’ll find your people amidst these 35 confessions. January’s almost over, fam. I think we’re going to make it. (But we’ll check in again in February.)
