'All My Mom Friends Are Alcoholics'
In the latest Confessions roundup, 15 parents share about teenagers, Disney trips, baby fever, and more.
It’s one of the worst-kept secrets about motherhood: making mom friends can be really hard. Even once you find your “crew,” it can still be a struggle to feel like you fit in, and balance socializing for yourself with your full calendar of work, kids’ extracurriculars, and birthday parties. This week, one reader shares that hanging out with other moms has become awkward since she doesn’t want to drink anymore — while another confesses the worry that her mom friends might secretly hate her. Read on for more confessions about teenagers, Disney trips, boring husbands, and more.
