'I’m Leaving My Toxic Job. I Wish I Didn’t Have To Work Again.’
In the latest Confessions roundup, unfiltered moms (anonymously) share what’s really on their minds.
Most of us, at some point in our parenting journeys, have had to adjust our expectations. Because that image of motherhood or fatherhood we had before ever getting pregnant rarely — if ever — pans out exactly how we planned. Whether you didn’t connect with your infant immediately, can no longer imagine staying with your spouse forever, or question your choice to work full-time or be a SAHM, this week’s Confessions will show you that you’re not alone. And if you’ve ever sobbed over a skipped naptime... you’ll find a kindred spirit here, too.
