A mother has about a million things going through her head at any given time. We wonder where the other baby’s socks are, how to appease the boss, how to achieve her life goals, and whether we forgot to take the chicken out of the oven.
And underlying all these daily tasks, worries, and logistics are thoughts we don’t always say out loud: moments of doubt, frustration, guilt, exhaustion, or confusion that make us wonder if we’re the only ones suffering.
So each week we ask Scary Mommy readers to anonymously “vent” and share their hidden thoughts. And everyone always has a lot to say. rest assured. You’re probably not the only mother who has felt this way. Motherhood is messy, complicated, and exhausting…and it’s far more universal than it sometimes feels.
