Most of us have to adjust our expectations at some point in our parenting journey. Because the images of mother or father we have before conception rarely – if ever – go exactly as we planned. Whether you don’t immediately bond with your baby, no longer imagine being with your spouse forever, or questioning your choice to work full-time or become a SAHM, this week’s confessions will show you that you’re not alone. If you’ve ever cried because you missed your nap time…you’ll find like-minded people here, too.
Horrible Mom Confessions is a tried and tested part of what makes our site so fun. If you would like to confess anonymously, please let everyone know through the link here. If you’d like to browse past Confessions, go here.
