We’re Tired, We’re Cranky — We’re Moms & We’ve got Some Confessions
In the latest Confessions roundup, 20 moms are wiped the F out.
Spring is finally here, but look — the world is still kind of spinning in a way that makes us feel more dizzy than whimsical. There’s just a lot happening, you know? From major government changes to parents binge-watching Adolescence and staying up all night panicked about tweens and social media, it’s no wonder we’re kind of cranky. And our confessions really show all of the stress we’re holding. From fears about our kids, to wishing our kids could maybe develop a little bit more of a backbone, to just normal everyday complaints, we’ve got a lot on our chest.
So prepare yourself for another round of relatable-and-also-shocking confessions from moms just like you. We all need an iced coffee, stat.
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.
