Mommy is not here today. Say no to makeup, hair and getting dressed altogether. Nothing about this day is pretty… well, except for the fact that I can do whatever I want, which is nothing at all.
Confessions: Sometimes I’d rather Cuddle With My New Baby Than My Husband
When we have children, whom do we choose– our husband or our child? Do we really have to choose?
Confessions: I Wish I Was A Lazy Mom
I’d love to be a lazy mom. I'd sell my soul to be a lazy mom, but it's just not in me. I embrace the non-stop, action-packed schedule that is my life. But I can take a page from the lazy mom playbook.
Confessions: I’m Too Sleepy to Sleep Train My Toddler
The hardest part about sleep training your child is realizing you won’t get any sleep for a few days.

Confession: From the Tap
Submitted by: Ty
Jacksonville, AR
I am feeling a bit victorious this evening. I am a mom of 2 girls, a 5 year old and a 6 week old. When my 6 week old was born, the doctor’s advised to supplement with formula. She had apparently lost 14% of her body weight from birth at only 3 days old. After I supplemented with formula, my baby stopped latching and wouldn’t breastfeed. I was heartbroken that I had to give her bottles only. That’s all she would take. I have been trying to get her to latch again. It has been a rough journey, but after 5 weeks of latching here and there, TODAY she strictly ate from the tap. No bottles!! Ugh I feel so great that I can give my baby the best.

Confession: Bathroom Break
Submitted by: Erica
Lemoore,CA
I am a mom who wants to do it all. I have a husband and 4 kids. My kids are extremely active and I do it all. I wake up in the morning, get my kids up and my littlest still needs help getting ready for school. I get them started and then drive my little to school. After that I start my full time job. I take my lunch hour to pick up my little from school, I then come back and complete my work day. I get my husband lunch ready, cook dinner, and then become a taxi driver to different sports events. I am so exhausted sometimes I sit in the bathroom just to take a break.
Confession: Downtime
Submitted by: Kieria
Houston, TX
I'm a mother of 3 all under 4 and expecting a fourth. I've been super mom the past 5 years but now my husband is finally in a position to work and let me stay home. And some day, I won't lie, I just sit around and the kids run the house. I feel sometimes I can take a mental break even if that means the house gets dirty. Especially now being pregnant and my youngest is 5 months. I'm drained. But I feel like downtime is ok. Anyone else feel this way and doesn't feel guilty about it?
Confession: Making A Home
Submitted by: Anonymous
Cleveland, OH
Sometimes I feel like a failure. I work 40 hours a week, and I spend much needed time with my son but unfortunately I just feel like I’m failing him because I don’t have a lot of things for him to really call our house a home. We have a home but we literally have no furniture besides a tiny “card table” and the beds in both of our rooms. it seems no matter how much my checks are there’s always bills bills bills and I can’t seem to save for anything because bills are never ending. I guess my confession is I wish I wasn’t failing in the area of giving my son a HOME HOME. My biggest wish for the year 2020 is to make that come true so I’m working towards it‼️ Wish me luck guys! Peace , Love & Light

Confession: Moving On
Submitted by: Carmen
Woodland Hills, CA
The biggest fear I have is that I will never find love, peace or happiness in my life. My mind is constantly going in circles. After a year and a half of being divorced the hurt is still very much there, I feel like I've failed myself and my children. I find myself constantly checking up on my ex husband and seeing how he's moved on, and it makes me feel inadequate knowing I've yet to do the same
Confession: PTA Hour
Submitted by: April G
Monrovia, MD
I make up fake PTA meetings and then go to happy hour with my friends.
