“Married For The 4th Time & My Close Friends Don’t Know,” Plus 41 Other Mom Confessions
Could someone pass the wine before they spill the tea?
The absolute need in my body to meet up with my girlfriends on a Friday night for giant margaritas and a basket of chips and salsa can not be overstated — and I feel like that’s exactly what every mom confessing what’s on her mind right now needs, too.
Whether you have your own confession you can’t stop thinking about or just can’t get your own general anxiety out of your head, there’s something incredibly thrilling about reading what’s on other moms’ minds. From the devastating to the hilarious to everything in between, there’s a confession here that’s going to make you feel like you found your people... or at the very least, make you feel like you’ve found a fellow mom who deserves a marg and some guac.
