“Don’t Know How To Help My Impotent Husband” & 46 Other Mom Confessions
Hold on tight, moms, the confessions are here.
Every mom I know is thinking about 8,000 things at all times — and I don’t just mean stuff like soccer schedules and doctor appointments and field trip forms. Moms contain multitudes, and you can bet that every mom, while also remembering to get all the fixings for tacos at the grocery store, is also thinking about her marriage or a rocky moment with a friend or how her kid is handling school. They’re also thinking about sex, about destroying the patriarchy, about their next vacation.
Their brain is just constantly going. And they’re tired.
So join all of the moms in reading some of their top-of-mind confessions this week. From confessions about their relationships to confessions about parenting, there is something here that will make you feel seen, too. (And, you know, give you something else to think about all day.)
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.
