Mom Confessions
I admit it, I am addicted to the mom confessional sites that are out there. I have spent days reading them to write about them here and it has not been a chore. It is fascinating to me what moms will confess only if it is anonymous. Could we ever admit these things to our husbands, best friends or mother or are we still under the illusion we need to be “perfect” wives and mothers?
Let’s face it moms are so hard on other moms. It is hard to break into a new friendship with moms in my experience and other moms are quick to judge. Is it because we only think our parenting choices are the correct ones or because we know we are lacking in certain parental areas?
Sites like truemomconfessions.com , true wife confessions and herbadmothersbasement.com are wildly popular and addictive. There are confessions ranging from:
I tell my newborn to shut up sometimes… to I refuse to have sex with even a ray of light in the room because I am so ashamed of the way my vulva looks. I wish I could afford a labiaplasty.
Women do not have the market on this type of confessional site either, try reading truedadconfessions.com to get an insight into your husband’s or your friend’s husband’s thoughts.
How can we support these women with a comment on a blog or a “me too” through the internet but cannot or do not in real life?
So tell me, are you addicted to these sites like I am? Do you confess on them or on your own blog? Finally, how do you think we can support the women we know, judgment free, in our own lives?
